headaches, pelvic pain, etc.

[Guest guest]

I have always had bad headaches until I started going to the chiropracter.

After that, I would go in once a month for my spinal alignment and never had a

problem with headaches again. Then when I got pregnant, my ob forbid me to go

to the chiro while pregnant and boy have those headaches come back full force.

I have read in several places that if you suffer migraines, they usually go away

with pregnancy but if you suffer from tension headaches, they become a problem

during pregnancy. Dr wont let me have anything but tylenol and that does not

help. So, I just resort to taking relaxing baths with candle light so the room

is kind of dark. And tylenol PM works better.

I also have pain in my pubic bone area. It sometimes feels like I had done some

kind of squating exercises which I haven't. My OB says it is normal part of

pregnancy and I have read that it is the pelvic bones spreading, preparing for

childbirth. Sometimes I feel like I am walking bowlegged because it hurts when

walking.

Birthing plan. Well, I just plan on going in and not taking an epidural unless

I am really in pain. I usually tolerate pain pretty well but this is my first

so we will see how it goes. I am hoping I wont need the epidural at all.
