End of the Year Expectations for Lil Monsters

How about your side for resting? I know that my friend made a pillow for Cassie so she can rest on her side. Kinda a double candy cane with low spot for baby belly to rest in.

I dread going to bed honestly. My issue is less my stomach and more my pelvis. I apparently have symphysis pubis dysfunction which means the bones are shifting more than they should essentially. When I am laying down on my side it causes my bones to shift and a sharp pain to radiate into my hips and pubic bone. Rolling over while I am sleeping jolts me awake, which sucks because I am not a "lay still" sleeper even when I am not pregnant. When I put a pillow between my legs it helps, but in order to to that I have to move my knees apart and when I do that, it also triggers the pain.


I have a support band coming in the mail later this week that hopefully will help, but otherwise the only remedy is avoiding triggers and give birth :/

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry Shawna, for the pain that you are in. Belly bands help alot Cassie has one. I know several others that use them too. Rest when you can

 

[Mizzely]

I definitely am trying to take it easy

Sounds real uncomfortable for you, it's hard to deal with. Eons ago, when I was carrying our 2nd kid, she like hitching a ride up under my ribs, made it so uncomfortable and hard to breathe. And you have nearly 6-7 weeks to go, wow.

I wonder if you could get in a heated pool to get some relief from some of the pain.?

I am not sure, we basically only have the YMCA pool as an option near me!

Maybe your Dr's office would know somewhere... My old PT office had one. You just never know.

I'm so sorry you are having so much pain Mizzely.

I always thought that Bill Cosby had a great idea in his comedy routine about Polaroid babies. Just click the button and one pops out - oops, that one is out of focus. Click the button again.

Soon, I hope the little guy comes very soon.

LOL omg, thay would be great!!

I got my belly band today and it has helped a lot. It doesn't take away all the pelvis issues but it takes some of the pressure off which keeps it at a dull roar vs a sharp scream I might just survive!!

 

[Mizzely]

Thanks everyone that shopped with me this weekend even though I didn't have a sidewalk sale going on. I you so much!! All of those orders went out this morning (10/31) or are scheduled to be picked up tomorrow (11/1)

@Mizzely just wanted to let you know my friend's daughter delivered a beautiful baby girl early this morning. She's wee bit tiny 5lbs 6 1/2oz. They named her Rachel Ruth. She is in nicu for the first 24hours, with slight breathing problem. Mama is doing fine. Daddy got to be there via facetime, he is overseas with marine corps. He will be home by thanksgiving.

Congratulations and glad mama is good! Baby will be before they know it too

 

[Mizzely]

Just a reminder that in one week, the shop will be closed for orders! I'm just 4 weeks away from my due date!

Had a Nightmare Before Christmas themed baby shower yesterday so here was my 36 weeks giant outfit

 

[rocky'smom]

@Mizzely Rachel Ruth is home at 6lbs 4oz. She is doing great, only problem is hiccups lots of them

Fell on the ice onto my butt last night and spent 3 hours under observation at the hospital. Luckily baby and I are okay but man that didn't help my pelvic pain

Before I retired from being an L&D RN we used to use small sized peanut balls to help patients adduct (separate) the legs. Much better support than a squishy pillow.

Have you heard about spinning babies? Google it, as the spinning babies positions could be of help to you, not only for now but for when you go into labor.
