Hi Happy Chic,

I have an antenatal appointment later today. I will be seriously discussing induction and at what point we might be able to consider it. I haven't heard anything about needing a c-section and to be honest, I don't want one. I have always been terrified of c-section. I have just finished my birth plan a couple of days ago.
I plan to be in the bath using just the gas for pain relief, if I need more pain relief then the bath is out of the picture. It all depends I guess on how I manage. I have been to a physio last night and she has confirmed I have Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. This explains all the pain and discomfort that I have been having.
She taped me back together again and gave me a support belt and I feel a lot more secure now. I actually got a much better nights sleep, and I even got to sleep on my side again YAY.
She wants me to stay in bed for two days because I couldn't do any of the exercises she wanted me to do. I have to go back on Thursday but she thinks she might have me mobile again within 2-3 weeks.
I'm not sure if they will provide extra monitoring, this hospital seems impossible to get anything done at the moment. It has been 5 weeks since I have been for my last antenatal appointment, which I was concerned was a little long. I am really interested to see what she has to say today about the size of bub, the fluid level, the hip pain. My GP says that 18.8 is still a tad high but I thought it was actually in normal range.
I have been getting a lot of pressure down below. At time I am going to the toilet every half an hour for several hours. Sometimes the pain is so bad I don't think I can move. (which is different than the pelvic pain)
Ok I think I have rambled on enough for the moment. I will come back in after my appointment and update.
