Quick question....off to acupuncture for first time in 3 weeks due him going on holiday, can I still lie on my back for the session...normally about 40 minutes now? I haven't been lying on my back in bed for about 2-3 weeks as I know it's not recommended, but any ideas? He of course will know having dealt with many, many pregnant girls but just thought I'd ask.
Trying to remember when my acupuncturist started having me semi-sitting (she raises the head of the table/bed thingo) I think I went in at about 15 weeks and she raised me, must have been about then cause I think I've had 3 or 4 raised sessions now and I'm going monthly.
Airline, I went a few weeks ago to an acupuncturist and I was propped up with pillows underneath my neck and shoulders and one pillow underneath my knees.
airline, sorry I didn't get a chance to respond earlier (crappy day at work). I went to acupuncture last weekend (21w3d) and was still lying on my back. She has put a pillow/bolster under my knees the last two times (I'm only going every three weeks at the moment, so the previous visit was at 18w3d). She did raise the table once at around 13wks, but only because I had awful heartburn that day.
Hi to everyone else!
Afm, was stressed out over work this morning and had a small meltdown in the shower. I wish I could have stayed home, but the stress would have just been waiting on Monday... I spent all morning going over this problem I'm having with a more senior colleague and he's as stumped as me, so I feel a lot better about it now.
Juniper, I think meltdowns are part and parcel of being UTD. Those damn PG hormones! It's been pretty easy for me to turn on the waterworks this entire PG and ATM I am so short-tempered with anyone who annoys me - and these annoying people seem to be in abundance I'm sure you'll sort out your work problem. Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes.
AFM, I am so excited. My DH has picked up everything we had laybied for the nursery! Woo hoo! So it's all sitting at home waiting for us to set it up over the weekend. He wanted to have it all done for me as a surprise today, but I said no way, it's my nest and I need to be involved in its feathering
Hey ladies, I've been MIA but have just read back over the last few pages to try to catch up.
Renee, I'm really sorry about your Grandfather and hope that the funeral was a lovely tribute to his life.
Airline, what a pity your MS is still hanging around. And great that you and DH were able to DTD after the drought!
Re lying on your back or not, I went for a facial (first one in about a year) about a fortnight ago (so would have been about 27weeks) and did the 30mins on my back. I'm sure it's fine for short periods. They say that you're okay until the point that you start feeling breathless, then you should raise yourself or turn onto your left side.
Brunette, you worried me a bit when a few pages back you mentioned you had put on nearly 10kg.... I've hit the 10kg mark (at 28week weigh in last weekend) and I've only got 1 little munchkin in here. I think I'm tracking for about 15kg all up which is probably about 2kg over where I wanted to end up. How's your carpal tunnel? Another pregnancy side effect I've skipped, considering my current job is a lot of data entry.
anyway, I'll try to post more over the weekend. I have antenatal class #1 on Saturday, and will try to clean out a bit more of the nursery to make room for DH to paint.
