Modified bed rest10/7/2023 I have an amazingly supportive husband.I cringe knowing my husband does a terrible job at cleaning the bathroom. I cringe knowing that I never got to clean out the bottom row of cupboards in the kitchen. How does someone just admit defeat and let the house go a mess and projects go unfinished? It’s not easy… every day that I just lay in bed reading or watching Netflix, I cringe knowing that the downstairs guest room is only half painted. However, as a busy body the idea of slowing down, spending more time in bed or on the couch, is hard to grasp. I’ve known since early June that I have been doing to much and I need to slow down. Therefore, in order to spend fewer days crying in bed, I need to spend more days in bed. One of the best ways not to aggravate my pelvis is to limit the number of trips up and down the stairs, the number of trips to the grocery store, the things I carry, and the workload I do. One of the best ways to feel good is not to aggravate my pelvis. In many ways, its kind of more of a modified bed rest. Instead, I’m on a sort of self imposed (and enforced by my husband) take it easy, don’t do much, just relax and enjoy your pregnancy. I’m not officially on bedrest and I am very thankful for that. How’d this happen? Well, I attribute it to A) an amazing acupuncture appointment about 3 weeks back that released an unknown muscle spasm in my low back and B) me coming to terms with bed rest. As I told my physiotherapist yesterday, I’m now having more good days than bad days. As I am now nearing the end of my pregnancy (hopefully, any day now), I am surprisingly beginning to feel better in regards to my overall pelvic pain.
