I have been in a bad mood since last week. At my ob appointment on Thursday the doc said that pains I have been having are because my symphysis pubis (the joint in the front of the pelvis) has pulled apart and is no longer aligned. Also my sacro-iliac joints (the joints where the lower part of the spine and the pelvic girdle come together) are twisting. I had symphysis pubis dysfunction with DD but it wasn't this bad. And the pain I had then was more in my hips and buttocks.
Whatever, I start physical therapy this week and after the symphysis pubis is realigned I get to wear a brace around my butt like a girdle for the remainder of my pregnancy. I did PT with DD and wore the brace, but it was later in my pregnancy. I had just hoped to avoid this problem with this pregnancy.
Also, they doubled my aldomet but ignored my concerns about my sugars being in the 180's to 190's. I have just been having a mini-pity party for the past few days. Thanks for listening.
