As I stated in the title itself, I don't mean this as a whine.
After the apparent false start in August, the SPD has begun to show its appearance again. The pain isn't much, very manageable and it becomes very obvious when I hit the bed for the night. Sleeping on any side has become a bit tougher, but what worries me is that I often catch myself sleeping on my back during the night. I don't want to mess with the ven@ c@v@.
The other characteristic is that the pain isn't consistent on all nights...sometimes the pain is almost just not there. What is the difference is what escapes my imagination currently.
The other thing is that the aspirin is leading to me bruising easily. Itchy skin to scratching to red lines on the skin - that is what can be very easily seen recently. Also, any rash/allergy seems to flare very quickly.
The flipside was my referencing the all-knowing Dr. Google on consumption of aspirin and some material I found made me a little doozy. I take low-dose aspirin twice a day, which means that the dose I take is a little over the standard daily low-dose. I will be glad to stop taking the aspirin at 34 weeks.
And Season has dancing feet. Seriously, if the music is good enough, the beats awesome enough, and there is a kid who makes a dance floor in my belly!
So cool that Season loves music already, LOL. Sorry about the SPD!
ReplyDeleteEww, I had to look up SPD. Sorry, that sounds really painful :( But I'm so glad to hear that Season has dancing feet!! :D
ReplyDeleteI was terrified to sleep on my back - I had a slowed heart beat incident at the doctor's office, and the nurse practitioner told me it was probably because I was laying on my back. So I did not sleep on my back the rest of the pregnancy for fear I would cause some trouble. Then I found out recently (5 years later) that it's not really a big risk. But I probably still wouldn't sleep on my back - I'm neurotic that way.
ReplyDeleteSorry the SPD is back...
haha, my baby boy also enjoys a good tune ;)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I was on my back, my heart pressure was all over the place, and I could feel it. So I can understand trying to not sleep on the back. I am lucky to be in general a side sleeper, but I needed a knee support from the second trimester on.
ReplyDeleteDancing feet are just awesome! SPD the contrary. But I am glad that at least it is not constant, and you get a respite now and then.
Rock on, dancing feet!
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds wonderful. As wonderful even in the bittersweet.
