evening group (dont want to say girls in respect of Sal!).
Welcome Muminaquandry, boy it is busy in here.
Ahhh Arabica every time I read your threads , I think how much worry you have had. Im thinking positive and healing vibes for labour, birth and baby.
PT sounds like a mare with all the arrangments. Hoping it all actually goes well & you can somehow enjoy it!
Pucca those pictures are just amazing , to see your little one inside you like that.
Re leg cramps , Ive had them baaaad too, so Ive started eating bananas again , as I think the pottasium is meant to help. Also good for my blood pressure which has started to lower again.
Consultant thinks my iron is on the low side , so as precaution he's taken another set of bloods and we agreed I would start on Floradix liquid to sustain me and hopefully it wont go to low. Wondered why Id been getting prounounced heart beat and giddyness. OH that and my wierd craving for wood I was told a sign of this too.
Also got my 1st physio session and the practioner and shes also 31wks preggy !!! I have a lot of lower back pain and find it hard to stand for long withought having to lean right forward and over . Basically I have a misaligned Sacral iliac , coupled with the weight of the baby whos head is right down and ready to engage!!!I now have to wear a rather attractive white elastic belt, anyone else wearing one???? Having to wear things to hide it isnt easy. Must say its putting dh off me more and more, GREAT.
Have my next weird therapy early next week, I wont go in to much on this thread as not fair on new mums. Im looking into hypnobirthing and may have a couple of one to one sessions with a practioner I found , as she may help me prepare for the birth, she doesnt think I need to do the whole 5 week course with dh as have had hypnotherapy quite intensly before , have a look at the amazing testimonials on here as she follows this method \link{http://www.hypnobirthing.co.uk/child_birth_video-jackie_gadret.shtml\Hypnobirthing Uk Mongan method, USA news video}
MY dh thinks its all hocum and too alternative and that Im a low pain threshhold, non natural birth kinda girl, who'll need all and sundry medication again , but thats not helping me with working on positivity and my PTSD. Im having to find support for this from my mum (who will be a birthing partner also ), alone or coming on here.Hes worried Im overloading myself with support and info , as have the senior midwife looking after me in tandem with my therapy & alongside the consultant and Ante natal care.
My gawd Ive written a bloomin essay, just seem to have to much going on, gotta find a way of staying calm , so it helps to write it all down.
