A Learning Experience

ailbheWell, next time, I shall remember:
To stop cycling at 30 weeks.
To stop any pelvis-opening activity as soon as I get a hip or pelvis twinge.
To get on the physiotherapy list as soon as I get pregnant, in the hope of reaching the top by the time SPD starts showing up.
This time:
I am still able to walk to the loo, and am no longer in pain while at rest (hurrah for rest!)
I will not risk spending another day wandering around, however much fun I had. Housebound from now on, that's all there is to it.
I will not sit in cars, however much the driver tries to persuade me it's a good idea, unless I have a necessary appointment to go to. No car outings for fun. The tilt of the seats, plus getting in and out, is just too damn painful.
I will not be brave and noble and risk making myself worse. Even when I feel fine, I will remain housebound until I have had the baby, except for necessary appointments.
With luck, this means I won't do any actual damage. I'm hoping that since I'm not in pain when at rest, I haven't done any real damage yet.
