Pulled Belly Muscle
Wah wah! I just need to whine a little. I'm 27 weeks on, and earlier
today I had to haul my 4-year-old daughter upstairs and to her room for a time-out. As soon as I was done, I found I was in horrible pain when I moved in certain ways. Like, ohhhh, walking. At first I thought I'd well and angered the SPD gods (had a rotten time with it my first pregnancy, but thankfully I got better on my own after the birth... several months after... and visiting a chiropractor this time seems to be keeping it at bay.) Anyway, after a few hours, I've figured out that while it hurts from a lot of the same things (stairs, rolling onto my side, etc.) it doesn't hurt in quite the same way or in the same place. Sooo... I think I managed to pull or strain some sort of very, very lower-abdominal muscle O_o I don't imagine anyone has any sage wisdom for me or anything. I don't think there's anything at all I can do other than trying to rest as much as anyone with a 4-year-old CAN. Wah wah. That's all, I now return you to your regularly scheduled newsgroup. |

I pull those muscles all the time & now at 3 weeks away, it's getting harder & harder to avoid pain. :-/ Essentially its like the old joke where a patient tells his Doctor, "It hurts when I do this" and the Doctor replies, "well, don't do that" (Baw Haw) :-) |

ow, you poor thing, I was always luck that I was always quite small, except
for literally the last 2 weeks of pregnancy number 2, so I didn't have that specific problem about SPD, keep going to the chiropractor, I have SPD, in my 2nd pregnancy it started at 20 weeks, I found a good chiropracter and he kept me on me feet until we move back home from which point I went down hill fast, I wasn't able to find such a good chiropracter, but I think I would have done anyway. Unfortunately I then had a difficult delivery and have done severe damage to my SP and over a year after the birth am still very disabled by it, don't worry this is very unlikely to happen to you, particularly if you keep yourself in good shape prior to the delivery both with chiro and then at the end helping your baby be in a good position, mine refused to budge from posterior and that was what caused all the trouble, if I hadn't have already had SPD she'd never have made it out vaginally, but that is not a good thing in my case.

My MIL looked me over the other day and asked whether the doctor wasn't concerned that I wasn't growing fast enough... about SPD, keep going to the chiropractor, I have SPD, in my 2nd pregnancy it started at 20 weeks, I found a good chiropracter and he kept me on me feet until we move back home from which point I went down hill fast, I wasn't able to find such a good chiropracter, but I think I would have done anyway.

I hope you at least get your paperwork sorted out very soon so you can start gettng better. :/ I started having pain, actually, as early as 17 or 18 weeks this time, and the chiropractor made it all better pretty quickly. I'm aware of the potential for complication like yours in birth, but it doesn't really keep me up at night. I do a lot of trying to convince my friends that for most people, being pregnant isn't quite as complicated and horrible as it is for me. The thing I *am* worried about is, I almost certainly flunked my 1-hour glucose test today (went home and did a finger-stick after, and got a 158). Sigh. I'm hoping I can talk the doctor out of sending me for the 3-hour test on the grounds that I check my sugar twice a day already and the numbers are always good... but we'll see... and since I'm becoming increasingly sure I'll be induced, I'm looking into finding a doula. The Pitocoin, it was sucky enough the first time. |

Well? I hate to say it, but the bigger you get... You do learn not to (try not to) do things that hurt. |
