Happy Thanks for all of that at what happened to you though, must have been a nightmare The MW I saw today isn't actually 'my' MW, I see the community MW, she is a MW based at the hospital. She said she had it herself, and her pelvis actually split apart (eek) She said she got to the point where she lined all of her dining room chairs up in a row (think cinema seats) in the middle of the kitchen so she could use the backs of them to lean on to walk the length of the kitchen. She did say about the support belts, but said that they only provide relief for a few women, most find them too uncomfortable to wear, especially in the later stages. And when I said swimming, she actually said floating, just to take the pressure off the pelvis.
At the moment, I'm not feeling it too badly, it got worse while we were on holiday, but sleeping on a pull out sofa bed night after night is enough to do anyones joints in! And I can still get my knickers on with out having to sit down! I am seeing my MW at 16 weeks (for triple test and the re-test on the rubella immunity which they cocked up) so will mention it again then, especially if it has gotten any worse, and I am in the middle of waiting for an eBay shop to set up an auction just for me on a special price on one of those long pillows so hopefully using that at night will help for the time being.
I think at least for now, I am happy to go with the flow, see what my MW says, and take it from there, but if it does get much worse in the meantime I'll make an appointment sooner.
Fingers crossed the sickness stays away Mine just built up gradually, still going, still not actually been sick, but nausea has been much much worse than with my first 3 pregnancies, and the dizziness that comes along for the ride is wayyyyyyy more annoying than the nausea!
Diege, one word, BOY!!!!!
