Coolest thing since sliced bread


Lately I have been having lateral side cramping. I never had anything like that during my first pregnancy, so naturally i thought something wasn't right. it didn't seem like round ligament pain, as the pain got worse as the day wore on, andmy ligament pain would get better with stretching.

I called the dr.'s office and the sent me to OB to "be safe" and then sent me home for some rest, and to follow up at my next appointment which was yesterday.

He suggested this pregnancy supporter. at first i was skeptical. BUT, i thought i cant NOT try it. and WOW the thing makes me feel so much better! my back doesn't hurt I can stand up strait (apparently Steve says i have been slouching from the weight) and no more lateral pain!

I actually went grocery shopping yesterday, and did a FULL day of errand running without feeling beat down beyond belief! I thought i was just "pregnancy tired" but I'm thinking, since I'm carrying Matt so far out front, and i wasn't in the best shape before i got pregnant. (technically I was still in physical recovery from the cancer) my body wasn't as prepared to carry him as I would have liked.

I have today off so i'm going to REALLY clean my house, and have good faith that i can do it since i know i can be on my feet all day and not collapse after 2 pm!
