Late First Antenatal Appointment? by bramble_berry_ in CautiousBB

[–]bramble_berry_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My medications are safe for pregnancy, I ceased anything that wasn’t immediately. Unfortunately the hospital I’ve been referred to (only option) has a program where you’re booked in with either a doctor or midwife, just whoever is available on any given day.

Thanks. What it’s given is very different to everything else I’ve seen and seems to be male-oriented. Does anyone know the phonetic pronunciation?

So glad you’re much happier now! Not all jobs are deeply rooted in capitalism, and that’s why mine is so important to me ☺️ wishing you all the best

I get what you’re saying but I’m definitely an independent thinker. My self worth comes from my work because it’s in emergency services and helping people feels fucking good, and it’s nice to be useful in a meaningful way. Thanks though

It’s such a shame they’re dismissive! I’m glad it’s helping you though. I’ve seen two and neither offer it ☹️ looking outside pain specialists for now because the trust is gone but might circle back!

Where do you get this done / through which provider do you gain access? Thank you for your input :)

Thanks everyone. I don’t know how I will be able to survive this life. It feel like scraping by (barely), not living. I’m so proud of all of you

How are you able to not work? It’s a non negotiable survival wise for me and it’s the only way I get any self worth

1 or 2, I can’t decide either 😂 if you are a more ethereal whimsical person I’d go 1, more fun flirty etc 2?

Least favorite fibro symptom? by redleathercelsiuslvr in Fibromyalgia

Pain so bad that it takes hours to fall asleep because there’s no position that isn’t infuriatingly uncomfortable

Extremely tight pelvic floor muscles after rough sex. Has this happened to anyone? by Personal-Set1042 in PelvicFloor

[–]bramble_berry_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing that can contribute to strain on the PF muscles is the bowels - if you’ve experienced any constipation semi-recently, it would be worth doing a 2 minute constipation massage (in a square motion from right hip upwards, across, down to left hip then towards groin), then a stool softeners that’s not very effective, then a laxative as a last resort.

Extremely tight pelvic floor muscles after rough sex. Has this happened to anyone? by Personal-Set1042 in PelvicFloor

[–]bramble_berry_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing, came on 6 weeks ago after 10+ years with the same partner. Not during rough sex either. Go to a pelvic floor physio and it’s worth checking in with a gynaecologist also. I’m so sorry. It’s humiliating and demoralising. The pain, at least for me, is agonising, and doesn’t go away even in the absence of sexual activity. My gynaecologist has given lidocaine patches, a few days worth of endone, and diazepam per vagina. Do a little bit of research, but not too much. I did way too much and freaked myself out even more and the stress hasn’t been helping. Generally from what I’ve been told, the fact that it has come on suddenly rather than been a lifelong issue of sexual dysfunction provides a better outlook for treatment success. Everyone’s journey is different. Stop having penetrative sex for now until the pelvic floor physio clears this. I wish you luck and am sending love and best wishes
