Feeling so pregnant

I’m feeling so pregnant today.

I’ve been having a lot of pelvic pain lately cause my hips are so rotated. The support belt I have helps, but not enough. So yesterday I gave in and called two chiropractors. One was one who I’ve gone to before, whom I like okay. The other is a new one that is closer to the office and also takes my insurance and was recommended by someone on a local mom Facebook group. The one I’ve gone to before was able to get me in this morning. I think it helped somewhat, but nothing is going to be perfectly fixed after one session. I have an appointment with the new one on Monday. I figure that just like OBs/midwives, I’m paying them, so I can switch if I need/want to.

Also, last night around dinner time I noticed that my ankles, especially my right one, were swollen. A not so subtle reminder from my body that I haven’t been drinking nearly enough water. So I chucked a bunch of water and tried to rest with my feet up for as much of the evening as I could. Thankfully this morning they were back to normal size and I’ve been working on drinking lots of water all day.
