Hi thought i would go through how it was....
Well it turned out the small group was actually me and another woman, and she didn't turn up so it was just me. I was looking forward to meeting other women so bit gutted but then again got one on one time so that was good.
Basically i have Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) which is similar to SPD and the excercises symptoms etc are the same.
Im not allowed to do much and have to take it very easy because they dont want it getting worse, I was given a SOS number if it gets worse they will 'rush' me in and i would be given crutches. So not wanting that.
Basically i have to avoid going up and down stairs (i live in a three story house lol) Ironing (because of the rotation) the same with vacuming, No lifting not even my handbag she said to get one with a strap that goes over the sholder so im not carrying the weight on one side. Crossing my legs or standing for long periods.
Baically i should sit rocking on my birthing ball and let OH do everything. He thinks im making it up lmao.
The good news is that it should go away after birth, She gave me some good advice for labour, and the painkillers, advice and excersises should make it really easy to stop it getting worse.
She was a loverly woman and very helpful although i can do the tummy excercises i can't seem to do the pelvic floor muscle one .
Im going to give it my best shot tho.
And i definatly want a water birth now! She said it would take all the weight off my pelvis, i wanted one before but now i really really do.... its first come first serve tho and there is only one pool!
But now im thinking... im having a big baby, and now i have this PGP im going to ask the consultant what happens if i go overdue. I don't want to get to the point where i can't move!
Anyway in a good mood now think it went well x
