Back Pains

The pain in my back became so intense I finally had to break down and call my dr. She said that I needed to go to physical therapy. So off I went...during the assessment found out that my pelvis was shifting in two different directions (not how is was supposed to move) and was in fact causing too much pain on my lower spine.

Now after a week of PT and multiple stretches and exercises a day, I have made some progress. Pain is now not so bad- at least tolerable. In the end, I know these pains are all for something amazing (I just have to keep telling myself that).

Until we meet again....

Body Pains

On top of the everyday battle of telling my body that yes, you are full comes the fabulous pains associated with your body adjusting for baby number 1. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic miracle that is happening in my body right now especially since it is just nature and your body is moving along how it should but man!

Now that I am starting to show comes the back pain! If I ever thought I had pains in my back earlier, I was wrong! These are excruciating! So on top of all the doctor's visits, all the baby stuff you have to buy, the body pillows so you are actually comfortable at night comes Physical Therapy.

I guess I just need to keep telling myself, this is the miracle of birth. This is what your body was made for, suck it up.
