ouch ouch ouch.. I slipped and fell a little awkwardly last week on a grassy slope in the pouring rain and landed hard on my bum with one foot tucked underneath me, and have been gradually feeling more pain since then... mostly quite sharply in my pubic bone and am a bit worried it's the start of SPD (though reading about it is quite scary as it sounds like this pregnancy could be rather hard work if this is what it is).
Anyone have any experience of this, and/or suggestions of whether physio or osteopath better route for doing something about it?
Lia, I went for scan after 8 weeks, partly because I'd had a scan at 7 weeks with MMC pregnancy, and seen a heartbeat, but then it still went wrong, and I was later advised that after 8 weeks, heartbeat seen is much better odds of a continuing pregnancy. But I guess it depends if you're able to get further scans after 7 weeks to keep you reassured. I think it's St Mary's Paddington RMC research that has indicated regular reassurance scans can reduce miscarriage risk, probably simply by reducing stress levels. Good to hear you're having an uneventful time so far... and good luck getting a sympathetic GP to refer you for scans so you don't need to shell out privately.
WYG I'm with you on the sleeplessness... DS has a habit of waking me in the middle of the night and I take ages to drop back off... and am so used to it now that when he actually sleeps through, I wake up in the small hours anyway...
Muser good to hear your 8 week scan was all good (see my comment above - after 8 weeks heartbeat seen is really good news that all will continue just fine ), though sorry you're feeling sick.
Unbuffy your holiday sounds exhausting! Good luck....
waves to jollster, I know you're out there... 8 weeks now? Hope all still well. Big squeeze.
Ladybee still thinking of you, hope you're not in limbo much longer now, I do remember the waiting was worst
