Nann - hoping that the tech was right in saying "he". Glad all is looking good so far with baby! Sounds like you might be borderline and it is good they are keeping a close eye on it!

I find that my sacroilliac belt (SI Loc, recommended by my physiotherapist) helps my pubic pain a lot more than a generic maternity support belt. My SPD got really bad with DS2 but hasn't gotten as bad this time around. I find that keeping my knees together when I move (roll over, get out of the car, etc) and avoiding pushing movement (stroller, grocery cart, lawn mower) helps a lot.

Thank you for the information. I might see if I can get something like this prescribed by my Dr to see if insurance would pay for it.

Cue the BH! I don't remember them being this damn painful in my other pregnancies, or even earlier in this pregnancy!

Is there any truth to the more pregnancies you have, the more painful the BH are? My OB made me aware of this at my last appointment, but I had mild ones before now. She said that as I approach labor the BH will be more painful than I've experienced and so will the postpartum cramping.

Has anyone else experienced this with 4+ pregnancies? I know I'm no wuss or anything but damn they hurt!! I know they are BH because they go away with exercise, drinking water, etc.

Thanks! Would love some opinions on this!

This is baby #6 for me. And my BH started to be painful this past week. I don't remember much pain with them before. I do know that the postpartum cramping is significantly worse with each baby. NOT looking forward to that.

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure it was a "thing" and not me being a wuss, haha! I'm using it as practice to get my mind right for labor and practicing breathing.

Sounds like a plan XX. I was a bit alarmed at the painful ones this early, so I am happy to see others have it happening too. Your body will be good and ready for this little girl to appear (and it might be soon!)

I need this SI belt. I can barely walk from the stabbing pain in my SI joint. I'm going to the chiro twice a week and doing all the icing and heating, stretching, oils but I'm still in lots of pain.
Wonder where I can get one?

So I just have to put this out there because all of you ladies will understand. My SIL just gave birth to a little girl last weekend. So for days I have been bombarded with pics of her. I am very happy for her and DHs family (especially since she had a bad miscarriage before this and was in labor for 40 hours), but it is cutting like a knife. She has a little 3yo boy and now a little girl. I was quite jealous when they found out. But the worst of it was today when my MIL put up a pic of her with the baby. She made a comment that was innocent, but stung quite a bit. She said "after 5 grandsons, it is nice to have a little girl, I am ready for pink and frills." I just started crying after reading that FB comment. It feels like our boys aren't enough. Sorry. Just had to put it out there to people who understand how hurtful those comments can be.
It does not help that EVERYONE comments that they bet this one is our girl. Even after I assure them that we are most likely having a boy, they are adamant that, nope, this will be a girl. UGH. Some people.
