Thanks ladies, did just scare myself Though went to a smaller park off the base and walked far too fast and ended up with a small gush sat on the bench with pains played a little and legged it home just a load of plug (ew) pains around my bump and back stupid me I shouldn't of walked so fast or too far and couldn't get a hold of hubby at work so he came home 10 mins ago and I told him rang antenatal they said to rest a little and have a bath. Oops. Xxx

Got excited that something maybe happening. Was getting period type pains and had very loose stools (sorry for the tmi) 4 times in 2 hours with lots of painfull contractions.

All stopped now though so dissapointed i know it would be better to get to next week atleast but i was so hoping this was it. Just hope this doesn't keep happening for the next few weeks.

Agreed Hun, me and you are in the same boat ATM! Xxx

Will be torture if this happens for the next 4 weeks.

Did your pains progress into anything yet?

Did they hell! He's playing silly buggers with me! I'm uncomfortable though xxx

Loose stools here too (TMI!).. it's not very nice!!

I'm sure LO is facing the opposite way now as his kicks have moved to the opposite side.. hopefully he hasn't completely changed position and is still head down! It feels like he is but I can never tell!

Hope everyone else is well, we're getting there! xx

Baby decided to have a dance party for 5 hours last night. Been told its because there was a full moon last night.

 

[SalisburyMum]

My babies movements have slowed quite a lot... Which is nice in some respects but damn worrying too!!

But then she gives me a good kick and I feel better.

 

[JulyBug]

Mine have slowed quite a bit too, I don't feel much at night, his a lazy boy lol he has always had a very odd pattern so I don't worry too much as long as I have a reassuring kick here and there I know his ok. xx

 

[Aurora_J]

Its probably because he was up al night but baby has gone quite today which is worrying me, will most likely call the hospital soon.

An ice cream always works to get mine moving.....have a freezer full of magnums just for that reason,..

 

[Aurora_J]

Already had an ice lolly and a some lucozade. Not worked yet.

My LO loves skittles! I was worried this morning about lack of movement so ended up eating some skittles at 8 o'clock this morning!! he soon woke up

Anyone else struggling with SPD (pelvic girdle pain) these last few weeks? This week is a royal pain in the arse for me.. His head is engaged and right down low (even I can feel his skull!!) and now I walk most days like a cowboy with jelly in his pants.

I've been using wheat bags, warm baths and feet up but if i go for small walks I'm getting bladder/urethra pain and I'm stopped dead crying in pain in the middle of shops or streets.

Its making me pretty miserable, MW offered me physio to give me a call but I dont see any point as i have 3 and a bit weeks left.

 

[Aurora_J]

Yeah i have spd i ended up seeing a chiropracter which has really helped. I saw a physio but the just gave me a suppprt belt and crutches and a few exercises to do.

Will be going back to the chiro for an adjustment again next week then 2-3 weeks post birth

 

[SalisburyMum]

I'm having weekly accupuncture for hip pain. My hip has hurt for around a year now though.

 

[Ab202]

I have SPD, and I have been given exercises, told me the support belt I spent £30 on was useless and then gave a random cutting of a stretchy bandage to use as a support belt (which really itches and I ended up throwing it away after a week!) and crutches by the physio but personally felt like she didn't have much of an idea about how to treat the condition and just went for the easiest, quickest option and also instead spent most of her time telling me how to lean on the wall to relieve pressure. I have a physical job and can't just lean on a wall for most of the day, I ended up working reduced hours and I'm now on Maternity Leave (my originally planned date). The only thing that really helped me was reducing my hours and therefore aggravating the pain less! I use my crutches now if I'm going long distances but the rest and gentle movement rather than being on my feet all day has really helped. Wish I'd sought the help of a chiropractor myself as people on here have written loads about positive experiences with them! Will see how I go once baby is born, but the past week or two it has gotten worse instead of better but I think that's down to baby being bigger and becoming more engaged! (I am 36+3) X

 

[JulyBug]

I get the bladder/urethra pain when I walk too.. I can definitely feel him very low down when I'm walking it's really uncomfortable - I have the pregnancy waddle or sure.

Oh God seems like its really common and horrible, sorry girls ! It is my left hip/pelvic area that hurts the most like a groin pull really, DH bought me a sausage pillow which i have to squeeze between my legs to turn over in bed but i constantly live with this wheat bag on my hip now.

The urethra pain is horrendous, no idea where its coming from been checked for uti and everything so assuming its just part of this as it doesnt hurt to pass water.

Maybe I should of asked to see the physio? I just suck it up and walk less but getting concerned that im taking paracetamols literally every evening now to help me sleep.

She said prenatal yoga and kegels helps, so i googled it for stretches. It seems to ease it a little (the yoga anyway) so I am trying to keep that up before bed.

 

[violet13]

I'm really struggling to go the bathroom when I pee it's a trickle and I need to go again straight away definitely not a uti and I can go for no 2 either �� Driving me mad! Xxx
