Talkin' bout the pelvis

So there is a pregnancy symptom no one ever warned me about (thanks a lot people!) About 2 days ago after a long shift at work, my pelvis started to hurt. Specifically the front. Specifically it feels like someone hit me hard in the front of my pelvis and now I have a huge bruise. Thanks to Dr. Google, I found out it is most likely my pubic symphysis spreading out. Some say the pain is normal, some say it's NOT normal but still common.

Explanation: this is gonna hurt, A LOT

I actually called my doctor's today and was impressed that they did not brush me off as a nervous pregnant lady. The NP I talked to said she's not very concerned since when I lay down it does feel a lot better. She said since it seems to be positional (since it gets better when i lay down) that it's not super concerning.  I have an appt next week and they will probably give me a pregnancy support band or girdle. Oh boy. If a pregnancy girdle doesn't sound like the sexiest thing ever, then I don't know what is. And also possibly sending me to PT. I youtubed a few PT exercises to do for this condition and they DO help. The NP also told me to rest. I am a nurse. I work on my feet, running around CONSTANTLY for 9 hours a day. There is no rest. 

 I was told by the OB before that I have a somewhat narrow pelvis so it's probably doing what it needs to do to make room for a human head to fit through. But I hope this doesn't break my entire pelvis because really, that DOES happen. Like it really does.

So that's my warning that no one told me about. Your crotch might hurt really bad. Like someone took a baseball bat to the front of it. I'm not even exaggerating.

I told my nurse managers at work today that I am pregnant. So secret is totally out. They took it very well and were excited for me. 

Tomorrow is our home inspection. 9am. Hopefully the inspector doesn't find out the house is gonna collapse soon or something crazy. I should get to bed since it's 1:15am, but dammit I didn't get home from work until 12:30. Actually I got home from work at 12 but I found the freaken med cart keys in my pocket, so I had to turn around and drive all the way back. At least Eric drove back with me. but still.
