About this pubic pain. Holy crap! It hurts!
Hard to describe, it’s a bit like pressure down there right before your period or pressure right before you have to go #2 (yeah, gross, I know). One day it hurt so bad that I just had to sit down with my feet up! This is the separating of the pubic bone to make it wider for the baby to pass through as well as the pressure of the baby’s weight and uterus on the pubic bone. It's perfectly normal, but unless you know about it, you think you have a crushed pelvis or something.
Another thing nobody talks about…and yes, I’m going to…is how hard it is to wipe after going to the bathroom! It’s impossible to reach from the front to get a good wipe. Reaching from the back is equally as hard, so there must be a happy medium and I intend to find it. Not to mention squatting over a public toilet. My goodness that is not easy.
Yet another thing…shaving. Hello?! How the heck are you supposed to trim your kootchy when you can’t see it and can’t bend over to see it? Sheesh. I have figured out a good, albeit slightly dangerous, trick with a mirror but I am sure my coiffure is not great!
You make me laugh! I can't wait to hear what you have to say AFTER you have this little guy!
ReplyDeleteThe pressure always made me feel like a wishbone...about to snap. Is he already head down? That makes it more intense.
ReplyDeleteHe's not head down yet (as of last week's appt)...see blog before this last one (I posted two yesterday)...
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteI had most the pressure on my tailbone, but Preston was born sunnyside up.
You're near the end, good thing huh??!
