Ah yes, there it is. 31 week belly.
“Heeeeeeey fat girl!” Said the funny homeboy on my way to the airport the other day. I just laughed. It was a compliment right? He told me I was “stylin and profilin.” A quick urban dictionary search said it means to “have class; so fresh and so clean.” Well okay then. I’ll take it.
Soooo…at the risk of being a little TMI I have to explain something. I mean I thought I had escaped it this time around but noooo…it’s come back full force in the last week or so. And it hurts. A lot.
Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t one to complain. Pregnancy is good to me. Aside from the pukes earlier on, I’ve had it easy. But I have to warn people if they see me out in public waddling around like I’ve been riding a horse non stop for 12 days straight.

Click click and read all about it. I had this with my other full term pregnancies and read that it just gets worse each time. Sweetness!
So today I walked up the stairs and gasped in pain. I climbed into the car and cringed. I have to get dressed sitting down as if I’m 90 years old with bad hips. And yes, I waddled around like a sad, fat duck because my bones feel like they are literally grinding together.
But hey other than that, it’s going great! No really. It’s not something I whine about a lot or wish for my pregnancy to go by more quickly because I am cherishing this time with my baby boy. Just him and me!

You be lookin' adorbs.
Sorry about your pubis dysfunction. That's gotta hurt like the dickens.
You don't waddle. And you sure don't whine about it. I feel bad about all the lifting of children and heavy bags and cooking you did this past weekend. I also feel really grateful. You're an amazing sister.
I had SPD with my 3rd, but I actually dislocated my pubic bone! I squatted at 25 weeks and felt a pop that knocked the freaking wind outta me. Went to a physical therapist, and my hips were 2 inches out of alignment...so no wonder we waddle! Doc said it will probably happen in subsequent pregnancies. I'm due any day with #4 and have more of the groin pain (pelvic girdle pain) with SPD. Nice part is, it goes away literally right after childbirth for me. Good luck girl!
