Isn't it hot and sticky today? I have been working from home as my SPD has been playing up, ironically after an appointment with the physio yesterday.
She prescribed some 'exercises', a pevlic belt and a giant tubigrip to wear around my bump and pelvis in bed. Er, hello? It's 30 degrees at night, why would I want to wear a tight wooly body sock? Anyway, didn't wear it last night as I put it in the wash, and spent most of the night in agony and then woke up this morning and decided that I could just as easily send 50 emails and make phone calls from home.
And the hospital pharmacy didn't have a pelvic belt in my size...so couldn't try that out.
I have really really really puffy feet. Really painful carpal tunnel at night (can't shuffle pillows or grip the sheet). Have to grit my teeth everytime I roll over or get out of bed to go to the loo.
And I'm fat. Not just pregnant, but fat. I have a double chin, great big bat wings, elephant legs and a huge wobbly bottom.
Can't wait to meet my baby and rescue my poor body from what feels like a rapid decline into arthritic gout.
Moan moan moan.
Sorry to hear about crappy midwife appointments. Mine are the same. As long as my stats indicate I'm low risk then I'm just lumbered in the 'she'll be ok' pile, which in some ways is good. But also makes me think that they won't take me seriously if I'm concerned about something.
imoscarsmum I feel like you. It's been ages since me and DH have 'cuddled' in bed like a real couple - what with all my pillows. And there haven't been any early evening walks to the pub lately with my SPD and puffy feet. I already feel like we've lost our old life even before the new one begins. But yes, lots of very sage advice from the ladies on here.
