Hi all, not posted much the last few days as been feeling absolutly shattered - am def developing a two hourly night time routine, if not for a drink then to go to the bathroom. have had a hectic week with appts and also helping to run a hol club for around 80 kids at our Church.
Finally got to see a physio on Monday and have been given a maternity support brace -much more comfy and effective than the tubi-grip. have to go back to the physio this coming Monday for a full asessment and poss crutches - the brace has restricted my movement quite a lot but I guess with being so sore that can only be a good thing, it has also reduced the aches at night time and pelvis doesn't seem as clicky.
Have started on the RL tea and have been getting some well co-ordinated BH - baby's head feels really low, will be interested to see what the mw says when I see her in a week. Didn't ever think I'd get fed up with being pg but am getting to the point where i'd love things to happen so I can meet my wee one and feel less ungainly!
Also been a long to a TENS class and a workshop on gf this week. Wasn't sure abouthte TENS machinge, not sure about the sensation but have gone ahead and hired one at Boots anyway - should get it in the next few days. Dh pointed out that until I'm actually in pain and using it, it will feel slightly diff, and that it was better to have a go and disgard it if I don't like it then not and wander if it might have helped. Bf workshop was great, really straightfwd and clear info given and dh came too which was lovely - figured if we both know how it works then he can help if we run into probs - he was the only guy in the class so felt for him a bit but the mw was great and made sure he was included.
Suzi2, Fatbirdtoo and Wilbur many congratulations on the safe arrival of your boys, you've picked some lovely names .
Miaou, Kate and Eulalia great to hear that things are going well with your new arrivals. Eulalaia, thanks for the email, have replied.
Azure and Beachyhead not long to go now before you meet your babies, must be strange to know when you're having them but very exciting too. Azure good to hear you're having a nice break. Beachyhead I hope that things have settled down and all the appts haven't been too stressful.
Josey, sounds like things are hotting up at your end, hope once baby arrives the spd pain eases up for you.
Leahbump, hope things happen soon, much sympathy re: spd.
Colinsmommy, sounds like you could go anytime! If you don't get to keep me company right up until the 31st don't forget to pop in and say hi as at the rate this thread is going it's going to be very quiet.
