Not that anyone cares but im going to force this on yous anyways

@Fluffybull thanks lol its brutal. Luckily i started my maternity leave earlier so i can rest

@Fluffybull I have had sciatica several periods of time and last time for 3 months after picking up a 40-pack of water. I hope you get some relief for it. The only time I wasn’t hurting bad was laying in a very comfortable recliner chair…could not get comfortable in any way sleeping in my bed.

@NaturalBeautyQueen omg so sorry, what happened 😢

@DarkSideoftheMoon thank you! Really take care of yourself. You’ll need your strength when the baby comes.

@cherokeepatti omg thanks ill try having a banana everyday. I know if i dont have rhem i get Charlie horses in my legs.

@DarkSideoftheMoon one exercise pressure point that I was told about was push your finger in middle of bum cheek on the side it hurts until you find sciatic nerve, it’s deep and takes some finding and you can stretch the nerve, I found that helped a little bit ! I had it for 10 years then I had a bad fall and not had it since, amazing

@Barny52 wow ! Was the rest of you okay ? Ill try that, thanks 😊

@DarkSideoftheMoon no snapped the big muscle in thigh i had lost feelings in one leg due to bad back but it sorted sciatic out !! Good luck with yours

@PhoenixPhail thansk love ❤

@DarkSideoftheMoon 🤗 🥰 ❤️

@Penny oh ill try that. I just bought a birthing ball too

@Nebula thanks love

@DarkSideoftheMoon unfortunately I did, but she was head down. She had the cord around her neck 3 times she flipped around so much.

@Starcrossed bless her ❤️ hiw was your recovery?

@DarkSideoftheMoon eh... slow. It took all the 8 weeks I had off and I was still sore. It was my first surgery in my adult life and my recovery wasnt as easy as I had hoped or anticipated. I had some bad PPD/PPA, struggled with nursing and baby daddy was not a great partner the first few years of her life.

I wish I could look back with more joy but was kind of a dark time in my life. I feel in part my kid and I were robbed of some of our bonding experiences in the earliest years. My negative experience with her dad is why she doesn't have a sibling.

I can say one positive birth thing, I had bad SPD the last trimester and that went away immediately when she was born just like they said it would.

@thepreposterouspanda yes exactly 💯

@Mellowgirl yeah true. She said labour will be bad if baby doesnt move. Im like oh great, put me down for an epidermal then

@DarkSideoftheMoon hmm I'd say decide sooner rather than later as if you dont it will be too late and they will make the decision so not to distress the little one

@Mellowgirl i put it in my birth plan that if labour goes on too long id want an epidermal but to be honest i really dont want one unless im going to die from pain or pass out from the pain. Q needle in my spine sounds horrible

@UnderLockDown it’s a thing haha…

@WaryWitchWandering no forceps or csection? Im scared they will want to use forceps

@DarkSideoftheMoon no… but I tore in a very poor fashion haha

@Bang5luts im in the UK and its midwife led unless i have a high risk pregnancy. Im from the US and i know back home we have obstetricians and i was a bit worried about that here but ill be in a hospital with doctors near by

@Whyme true

@Gangstress lol i have a feeling it isnt going to get any easier
