SPD

I seem to be having lots of pelvic pain.... it feels like it did in the last few weeks with Rosie, only worse. I could hardly walk last night, although there was good reason for that. lol.

Yesterday I went for a walk with Rosie to the play group, and while there did a lot of crouching, sitting on the floor, and sitting on small chairs. Then in the afternoon I met up with a lady in the walmart parking lot (from the Peterborough Buy and Sell groups) to buy some Marble Works for later. I'd forgotten to bring money, of course, so I ended up grabbing Rosie and running into Walmart... it took forever to get to a till cuz it was so busy, and I didn't dare put her down, cuz she'd take off or take things from the shelves, so it felt like I was carrying her for 1/2 hour. I think it was actually about 15 minutes.

Then we stopped at the dollar store to get a toy for Rosie's cousin for Christmas. I had to park far away, but Rosie walked in holding my hand so it wasn't a big deal.

After getting the toy and wandering through the store a little with Rosie in the buggy, we headed to the till. Once in line I realized I had no purse. :S We left the toy near the shelf, put the buggy back, and headed for the car. Rosie walked there, but I carried her back once we had the purse so it would be faster. Waited in line (she stood very well with me, thank God) and when we got to the till I realized my wallet was out of my purse, and actually back in the car.

This time I carried Rosie both ways (she was crying by now cuz we had to leave the toys behind again) and we finally bought them. Me being me, I had to stop at a nearby thrift store, but Rose did well walking, so we were OK.

I got home, a little sore, but didn't think much of it. After sitting for dinner though, I could hardly stand, and hardly walk. It sucked!

I've done a little research, and there's a condition called SPD (Symphysis pubis dysfunction) that affects up to 25% of pregnant women at least a little... it seems I'm developing that... *sigh*... have to stop carrying my little one... that'll be hard, I love carting her around with me!

Also, some say it's worse if your baby's bigger, so I'm wondering if Micah's big already.... Rosie wasn't very big at birth, so it'll be interesting to see the difference.

I'm so excited for this little guy, but there's still over 3 months to go... hoping I won't spend them in excruciating pain!
