I'm working on putting a big box together to send you (and Lis)...gotta find a box big enough to hold it all!;)<br />Does your gym have a pool by any chance? I'm a HUGE advocate of swimming and water exercise during pregnancy. It was my salvation for back pain, general pregnancy discomfort and mental stress relief, too:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641734420055203960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-57140250767042049912009-11-04T18:17:36.029-08:002009-11-04T18:17:36.029-08:00Denise,
Last pregnancy when baby Violet "drop...Denise,<br />Last pregnancy when baby Violet "dropped" at 7.5 months I began to feel sharp pains in one specific spot on my left ribs. It got progressively worse by the end, to the point where I was wearing a maternity girdle all day, every day. I also couldn't sleep on my right side, else the weight of the baby would pull against that left side too hard for that one spot. When I started situps again after pregnancy, I noticed a strange popping, somewhat painful, in my left side, and found that disturbing GAP in my ribs. The chiropractor and doctor both checked it out for me and confirmed there was some pretty significant cartilage stretching, if not tearing. Neither seemed to think anything could be done about it, though the chiro. suggested lots of sideways situps on an exercise ball to strengthen the surrounding muscles. They helped, but weren't able to completely heal it. When I got lazy about exercise when Ben got home from Iraq, the pain from it was considerably worse, noticeable just in a prone position, or sleeping on my side. Now, I have some backtracking to do to reinforce that muscle group and get it ready to carry another 8 pounder!Susannah Forsheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789037705502234165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831164461333348108.post-19307364248489029612009-11-04T17:24:54.473-08:002009-11-04T17:24:54.473-08:00What an update!!!

Perhaps this is a boy, because they always seem to have ravenous appetites. :)<br /><br />I totally get you on the Tricare thing. Googling lead me to forums, from which I learned from other military wives what was covered, what wasn't, and how to go about it the right way. It's crazy, because you'd think it should be clear in your handbook. NO SUCH LUCK. I am so glad you got a midwife instead of that HORRID dr!!! <br /><br />When did the cartilage tear last pregnancy? I think it's great you're exercising (running) this time. I know, know, know it will pay off big. The friend I have here who ran even up to a few hours before her delivery, looked amazing post-pregnancy. I want to do that (Lord willing) next time.<br /><br />You look great!!!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325492689515460829noreply@blogger.com
