I Have Joined The INSOMNIA Club!
It’s just getting light outside, birds are twittering away and cats are kneading my soft dressing gown… with sharp claws!
5.50am. That’s what time I woke up! Gone 1am was when I finally dropped off. 3 hours is the amount of sleep I had between those times!!
I’ve spent the last couple of hours tossing and turning wondering why I can’t sleep. ‘Is my bladder full? No.’ ‘Has the baby stopped moving?’ (prods and pokes ensue) ‘No.’ ‘Did the baby kick me awake? No.’ All I know is that the constant changing sides trying to find a comfortable position made my hips ache and trying to keep that damn pillow between my knees was making my pelvis hurt more than it should! So I came downstairs, made a coffee (I have one ‘normal’ coffee a day, still need my early morning kick up the arse!) and logged on here. I don’t know what I’m going to do for the next couple of hours! Jeff’s still asleep of course, he’s going to get a shock when he notices I’m not lying next to him. I can’t do anything noisy in case I wake him up so I guess I’ll have to surf the internet for a bit.
If I think of anything else to write I’ll come back…
Just remembered what I thought to write during my tossing and turning moments. I really can’t be doing with going to a physio about the SPD thing. So’s long as I don’t over do it, it’s managable. I realise there could be another 8 weeks to go but I really don’t want to waste anyone’s time. So instead I’m going to try this exercise I have read about. It involves me lying down, knees up and Jeff putting his hands between my knees. I’ve got to try to keep my knees together as he tries to gently force them apart. I read about this exercise a few weeks ago but was skeptical about it until I slipped, nearly going into a split! It hurt for a few seconds but then I realised that my pelvic pain wasn’t as bad as before. So I concluded that the effort of trying to keep my legs together as the slippery ground forced them apart was an extreme form of that exercise and that it worked! Yes, I do go around things the long way!
