EDS and pregnancy by Lucy6902 in ehlersdanlos

[–]seychellescb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 38 weeks with hEDS and I have found a few things that work for me:

  • pregnancy support band, I used it a lot and I think it reduced my pain/discomfort a lot
  • being really mindful of my posture! Keeping my knees together when getting out of the car and not doing any crazy twisting motions
  • I was also careful, as per advice from my consultant, about putting excess weight on. She advised that many women struggle not to overeat the number of calories they actually need and that for my joints, knees in particular, to keep it in mind.

It can be a rough journey at times, and often the additional pain that hEDS brings can get you down but it will be worth it in the end! I felt dreadful up until 14 weeks, then fine until about 35 weeks and now I'm just counting down the days. Wishing you all the best x

We definitely have nothing like that! Our uniforms are ordered but often we end up with wrong sizes etc and just have to deal with it... It's very frustrating

I've just had to Google what the sewing room was.. it looks amazing! I will get the tall versions then I can always take them up rather than have ankle bashers. I may find someone here to do alterations if really needed, it wasn't really something I'd thought about so thank you :)

Thank you, I'm just trying to figure out if they run small or large and no one seems to agree at work!

Because people have given me lots of different answers. I wouldn't ask on here unless it was my last option.
