10-11-2009 - How much more can I take...

My mood while writing this blog: Defeated

---

Ok ladies so I feel offically useless.. I beleive I have SPD (Syphysis Pubis Dysfunction).. and it has inhindered on my everything. As if giving up my financial freedom, my physical freedom, my sanity, my mental and emotional freedom wasnt enough now I am forced to give up my mobility also... boy this is really becoming trying on me and on my DH... I was keeled over in pain last night to the point of crying... nothing I can do for releif. Spent 6 hours trying to breath and be as comfortable as possible... knowing I have SAHM duties I need to take care of. I cant sit, laydown, stand for more than 20 minutes at a time.. I am exhuasted mentally and physically... I feel like a hermit and unless i ask my DH for help he seems oblivious to my needs and the home stuff that needs looking after... My Aunt passed last week and I am in so much discomfort I cant go to the funeral or travel to support my Oma... I feel like a huge.. litterally huge inconvenience and burdon to my DH. Feel like depression is creeping in on me. I am swollen and really would like to have just a little normalcy back in my life.. I feel like there is a black cloud over my head and Im having a hard time helping the sunshine to push through.... am I alone in feeling this... is there light at the end... I know that in the end its all worth it... but what can I do to find the strength to push through and have some joy in the next 10 weeks?? Aurgh! thanks for listening.

Oh hun, I am sorry you feel that way. I wish I could be here and help you in some way. I know it is hard, but don't let it get to you. Not very long and at least the physical disscomfort will be over. I guess hubbys can be a challenge, hang in there, after the little one is born you make him do almost everything for her. Hang in there, I will pray for you, it will get better soon.

I feel for you. I had this with my last pregnancy and is the only thing i am petrified about this time round. Are you able to do anything to help? I found chiro/osteo appointments really helpful. Also I used a belly bra to help take the weight off my front. Additionally you can buy a girdle strap to help strap your pelvis together which helps a little. Finally if you can get to a pool and spend some time swimming it can help stregthen your muscles - but most of all give you some almost gravity free time to relieve the discomfort - for even a little while. Try to keep yourself focused on the positves (I know they seem few at the moment) and good luck. Check out this site http://www.pelvicinstability.org.uk/index.asp?pageid=72415

I know how you feel I had it so bad with my last pregnancy it started at six months I couldn't seep to save my life it lasted until my son was four months old I thought I was going to have to do physical therapy but don't let it make you non mobile because then you will be depressed and feel useless I fought through it like an army with this pregnancy 23 weeks I have been batling terrible leg cramps right after one other Can't sleep a wink that's pregnancy. try pilling up like pillows or sleep in a recliner like I use to. and Now I have a terrible case of bronchitis that has lasted two weeks antibiotics are not even touching it.
