31 week check up

Hi All,

Well we had our 31 week check up yesterday. Everything looks and sounds good. His heart rate is in the 130's, it was funny when the doctor was using the doplar to listen to the heart rate he kept on kicking it so you would hear showsh showsh showsh and then a thump. He already sounds like he takes after Craig and I - 'never sitting down'.

I also confirmed yesterday that I have pubic symphysis seperation or dysfunction. Below are a couple sentences that I pulled off of a website. - basically I've been in pain for a while and I've ignored it because I thought it was just symptoms of pregnancy. No wonder it was so painful to turn over in bed...I thought it was because I had a huge belly. (basically I think my problem was probably caused because of all my running injuries and misalignment)

The Pubic Symphysis and the Sacro-Iliac joints (in the back of the pelvis) are especially important during pregnancy, as their flexibility allows the bones to move freely and to expand to help a baby fit through more easily during birth. In fact, the pregnancy hormones relaxin and progesterone help the ligaments of your body to loosen and be even MORE flexible than before, so that there is plenty of 'give' and lots of room for the baby to slip right through. Simply put, significant pubic pain is caused by the pelvic girdle area not working they way it should, probably because of hormones, misalignment of the pelvis, or an interaction of the two.

I'm going to try and take it easier, but we'll see :)

Can't wait to see you guys soon.
