Blog the Sprog

It's a very weird thing, making a person. I honestly never thought I'd do it, but here we are... so I'm gonna tell it like it is. It's a very scary and exciting time. Yikes!

General update

Went for the 20 week scan yesterday - all is looking very well! Sprog weighs 300g and seems to have perfect feet, hands, eyes etc... it was still in an odd position so we couldn't confirm the gender again.

It was sucking on its feet (yogababy!) and we could see it swallowing amniotic fluid - this looks cooler than it sounds.

The damn back

My back is better, thanks to my awesome chiro. Here's what it was:

Inflammation of the sacroiliac joints and associated ligaments are very common, especially following pregnancy where the hormone relaxin is released and this results in the relaxation of ligaments in preparation for childbirth.

Symptoms include:
Pain located either to the left or right of your lower back. The pain can range from an ache to a sharp pain which can restrict movement.
The pain may radiate out into your buttocks and low back and will often radiate to the front into the groin.
Occasionally there may be referred pain into the lower limb which can be mistaken for sciatica.

As you can see, the fun never stops! But at least I'm better now...

Will do an updated belly pic soon and post that up soon!
