tram trip home
Jun. 22nd, 2005 10:10 pmGrumpy. In that way where I cant tell anyone what I need or what will make me feel better. Blah!
the pain when l walk started today -a pregnancy symptom I was hoping to avoid this time. I thought 12 years would mean that my body had forgotten to overreact to that relaxing hormone and my joints would stay together - the way they should!
I'm trying to change the way I walk so that I can keep walking. I tilt my pelvis and walk with small, womanly steps. I'm also making sure I don't bounce too much and hurt my tummy ligaments/muscles. It could be a comical sight.
I'm eating more lately -lots more! Porridge with a bit of lactose free milk for Breakfast; a banana and peanut butter sandwich with whole grain raisin bread at 10ish; toasted cheese Sandwich as close as I can last to Midday; then a pear sometime in the arvo and Miso soup when I'm starving and can't go hungry any more. Then I go home for dinner.
LATER:
I'm thinking I need to take a third sandwich to work for arvo tea - but that feels like I'm heading for over doing it. OTOH, I am pregnant, and low blood sugar has got to be bad for me.
I spent some time investigating my pelvic pain this evening. The internet is a marvellous place. I have diagnosed myself as having SPD. I think I might ring the hospital and get referral to a suitable physio and get a belt to hold my joints together. If this pain keeps going that is, and I'm not just a hypochondriac.
The wacky element of the internet advocates chiropractic manipulation (up to 3 times/week!!!!) and also claims that the birth will be harder/more dangerous/more difficult if a chiropractor is not involved. Hmmm, we'll see. OTOH, the birth position I've been keen to try and kept forgetting to do/didn't feel comfortable at the time, is NOT recommended for people with joints like I had when pregnant with Z and now, probably, this one (R). Perhaps my body really knows what it's about.
