I have been in pain since last night. SPD type pain in the pelvis and lower back, basically everything from my belly button down hurt. I have been in pain all day today. I had baaaad SPD related pain with our oldest son and was basically miserable the entire third trimester. The pain and pressure so bad toward the end that I couldn't stand up long enough to take a shower because of how much it hurt.
The thing that has helped me the most was some stretching, other than that nothing has worked. I waited until Daddy got home, dinner was done, kids were calm and took a bath. I stayed in there for a little while trying different positions and trying to relax and read my book.
The bath made the pain worse. I could not believe it. I stood up to get out and felt an incredible amount of pressure. I don't know if the warm water caused the baby to change positions or whatever but the bath made the pain worse. I drained the bath started the shower and stood under hot water for a few minutes but at that point I felt diarrhea and nausea coming on so I got out.
(TMI)
Walking was really uncomfortable but I hobbled to the bedroom and got dressed, sat on the couch for a few minutes and had to run to the bathroom. I didn't throw up but it came out the other end. I wiped and wiped and wiped and wiped again for good measure and noticed a little clump of of what looked like white snot on the TP. I wiped some more and couldn't tell where it had come from, there was no more. That freaked me out to the point where I got shaky from everything. I know all this stuff can be normal during pregnancy but all at once...that makes me nervous.
I waddled back to the couch, back to the bathroom where I had diarrhea again. I've felt a couple contractions here and there but mostly it's just discomfort in my lower abdomen and back right now. Walking still hurts, I don't even want to be sitting at the comp right now but I'm somewhat nervous and wanted to share it.
I'm going to lay down, with a big glass of water, and try not to move for the rest of the night. When I got up from the couch to walk to the comp walking was still uncomfortable. We'll see what happens, which will hopefully be nothing. I'm even more nervous because I've had a feeling for a couple weeks now that this baby was going to try to come early. This stuff is not reassuring me we'll make it to term.
I did consider going to L&D but for what? I'm not having regular contractions, water hasn't broken (knock on wood), no bloody show. I figured it was related to baby's position and the SPD but if anything changes I'm not going to hesitate to go. Next contractions I have, if any, I'm timing.
