This week there isn’t much change from last week, I still have pain in the pelvis and I am feeling tired. I’m not letting myself slow down just yet though as I have so much to do.
Still awaiting the physio appointment, but the midwife said to wait until 2 weeks and then chase it, fingers crossed something comes through the post tomorrow.
Bump is very “bumpy” at the moment, every single movement feels like I am getting kicked into the beyond and looks like a section of Alien the movie. Not that I want to compare my baby to an alien, but you know what I mean.
Why is it that everyone keeps telling me to get to bed early, I know I need to get to bed early, yet I never seem to make it to bed (to sleep) until at least midnight… then up at 7am the next day! How I am surviving right now on such a crap sleep, I will never know. Iย definitelyย am feeling it second time around, word of advice to all first mummies to be – make the most of the first pregnancy!!
Bumpometer update
weight: 8 st 9lb
Measurement: 93.5 cms
Its still growing nicely, I think its feeling the pressures of less room now, I have a very tight tummy which is quite hard now. I have also been experiencing my belly getting tight for short bursts – I think its technically known as “tightening”! I hope that doesnt mean baby is uncomfortable for those moments, as it doesnt feel very good for me.
11 weeks to go… EEK!

February 19, 2012I was diagnosed with SPD at 34 weeks with Harry (2nd pregnancy) despite letting the doctor know at 24 weeks that I was in pain. At 34 weeks – had my physio appointment.
Warning: if they tell you to put a tube bandage on overnight to keep your hiips together DON’T! I have never, ever been in so much pain…other than being in labour with Harry.
After 2 hours I yanked the bandage off and threw it away.
You have a beautiful bump by the way xx

February 20, 2012Thats not good, such a long wait. If I havent heard by Thursday (which will make it a fortnight) I am going to call midwife and chase it. Not fair to leave people waiting, its not fun!!
The midwife mentioned a support belt, but surely anything has to be better than the pain at night time? ๐
Thank you – I do love my bump, I know I will miss it when its not here anymore, so I am trying not to wish the next 10.5 weeks away!! xx

February 20, 2012I had a support belt. Which was good. But the bandage made the pain SO much worse. When I took it off I couldn’t move for 15 minutes, which wasn’t great at 2am when I was half asleep. The pain the bandaged coursed was worse than the SPD itself.
I didn’t use the bandage anymore and just decided to put up with the pain.
I hope you don’t have to wait too much longer for help xx
