C/S scheduled for 3 weeks from tomorrow (22nd). I am so miserable as I wait. My back hurts all the time. I see the chiro and a massage therapist weekly, but the effects are just temporary. My hips and feet hurt. I have contractions fairly often (not in labor), and they hurt too. I'm exhausted and out of breath and an emotional wreck. I'm working until the 16th. Can you cheer me up?
Sorry for the griping.
Re: please encourage me (pr)
I'm sorry. The last few weeks BLOW.
Do you have a yoga ball? If not, you need to go buy one ASAP. It's the *only* thing that got me through the last few weeks. I would sit on it, eat five pounds of bing cherries a night and watch TV. LOL. It relieved the pelvic pressure, the back pain, etc. Plus I felt almost weightless.
OMG tiny Sgt. Pepper!
Gripe away, sweetie. We've all been there.
Do you do your chiro and massage the same day? I'd split them up if you do to maximize the relief. And I had a shiatsu massager that was just my favorite thing those last weeks. It lived wedged against my back. I'm surprised Joseph didn't vibrate when he was born.
i'm obsessed with this jacket:)
I had one of these too! It helps.
