Well, I finally broke down and made a trip to the chiropractor yesterday. I was hoping to hold out and not need to go in with this pregnancy–with Josiah I started going at 37 weeks. However, my hips are so out of alignment that it’s getting too painful to sleep and walk. I know that this is due to having to sleep exclusively on one side at night as well as the extra “loosey goosey” joints due to pregnancy. So, I finally went in to see if it might help.
And I’m happy to say: It did! I know it’s not going to hold for very long, but hopefully I won’t have too many more days to be pregnant. 🙂 My hips are significantly less painful today. Although there is a spot on my low back/hip that hurts now, that didn’t hurt before. But I think that’s due to being so out of alignment that my body is rejecting being put back into place. So, we’ll see how long it holds. I might have to go back in next week.
Here’s a picture of us hanging out on the couch tonight. Even though I hate taking pictures right now, I thought it would be fun to remember how huge I feel. We’re all snuggled in watching Wreck-It Ralph before bed.
You look great!
I agree with Amy. The fact is that you look pregnant, but not like you have gained a lot of extra weight. I know you notice every extra bit of weight on other parts of your body, but to the rest of us, you look pretty much normal other than the belly, and that will be gone soon! And your family adores you! Hang in there, sweetie!
