This is Zoe’s Blog . I remember “morning sickness” being shit, but this felt, well, cruel. News and incisive Views 24/7/365. State not informed on clean chit to Karmapa: Dhumal SHIMLA - Even as the central government is believed to have given a clean. Love this post! I always hate when I hear raw advocates say that so and so raw person failed on the raw food diet. I never looked at going back to cooked foods as a. ![]() Lots of laying on the floor and allowing my son to watch back to back Shaun the Sheep while I felt sorry for myself, licking my desperately cracked lips (that will happen when you can’t stomach liquid in any form: cute!), and fantasising about sleep. I’d sneak off to buy Mc. Donalds (full dirty coke, cheeso or nuggs, fries and a hash brown on the side, since you asked), because it was the only food – and I use the term loosely – I could stomach. This from a woman who had spent 2. FODMAP, gluten, lactose and fructose- free life of baked fish, eggs, arrogant earnestness, and DIY bulletproof coffee. The shame. Eating Happy Meal, and yet still apparently not very happy. The spell broke around week 1. Poke place popped up near home, and I ordered a big, around bowl of veges, tofu and rice. And a drink! It felt incredible to be eating food from, yknow, the ground, again. This is from Poke Me. ![]() It’s delicious. DID YOU KNOW!! The reason salad, veges, eggs and meat repulse you when you have morning sickness is for a reason! Our primal brains instinctively understand that bacteria resides on plants and in protein, (e. Choose safe old cheese toasties and Saladas instead, it’s saying. I eat normally now. Funny first grade people are making it hard for me to teach them! Parents, do you want to know what REALLY goes on behind that "closed" classroom door?![]() It’s intense. And since I dodged gestational diabetes this time, (woo!) self- control has been a bit of a struggle. And by struggle I mean: Easter.*Also on the list of preggo shit they don’t tell you about is that your eyesight can buckle because of hormonal changes. My right eye went blurry (long- sightedness, it turns out) in the second trimester, and after two weeks of assuming it was just fatigue or a scratch I had an eye- test. I now have to wear glasses whenever I look at a screen. Naaaw, thanks, low immunity! You’re the best! PREGNANCY THE SECOND TIME. ![]() ![]() You’re better at it round two. You know stuff. You don’t panic about every weird twinge. You’re busy with your first- born, can’t remember how many weeks you are, and forget you need to set up a room or buy clothes for the incoming child. And should you have had any debilitating pelvic/pubic/back issues last time, well, you do all that you can to avoid that. You really, really do. ![]() ![]() ![]() See, my first pregnancy was a bit shit; that’s why I am writing this post: I don’t want any other pregnant women (or men, no discrimination here) to end up like that. The full post is here. But mine developed into a fractured pubis, and then osteitis pubis, eventuating in crutches at week 3. Me at 3. 8 weeks last pregnancy. Popular Posts.

Im going to be in nyc maybe for the final time nxt week, please read the below blog entry to see why, lol it has 0 to do with NYC I LOVE NYC, so lets have some fun. OMG so cute. I expected the pain to fuck right off once I’d released the human in my uterus, but post- partum the pain was even worse: I couldn’t walk for longer than 1. But I had no idea pelvic stuff was even A Thing! I assumed pregnancy was all cute dresses and insufferable bump- caressing. People warn you about flatulence and swollen ankles, but no one tells you pelvic pain is A Thing. GUYS: IT’S A THING. In my obliviousness I did zero exercise or strengthening, and had no treatment. Even the g- damn physio who put me on crutches didn’t recommend getting treatment. It blows my tiny mind. Other regrettable stuff I did: I. I had no idea that I was supposed to. And judging by the amount of emails and comments I get from pregnant women in pain and desperate to know how I got it sorted so they can do the same, I’m not alone. And this is what really grinds my gears: pelvic pain is possible, even probable when you’re pregnant, but it is totally manageable with professional treatment and the right exercises. Yet so many pregnant women don’t seem to know this. And I reckon someone – their GP, their obstetrician, their PT, their chiro, their sister, Margery from two doors down – needs to tell them. I went to a physio- pilates joint that specialises in pregnancy for months and they entirely missed the problem. Leading up to and during this pregnancy I did All The Right Things, optimistic I could sidestep the drama and pain. Alas, the pubic pain is back. ![]() It’s okay: it’s not osteitis pubis, or instability, and my glutes and core are strong. It’s just classic preggo SPD which my Osteopath is treating, and which she assures me is both transient and normal. Some days are 7/1. Sitting down is the worst, which is a real turd when you write for a profession, (this post has taken friggen weeks, one chunk at a time) or want to binge on Veep/Fargo/Survivor at night, or catch a plane, but overall I’m fine. No kicking tyres. I know which exercises, or active stretching and release will help when I get tight and sore, or to book a massage/extra Osteo treatment, or run a big ol’ Epsomy bath if things are really painful after doing errands for an two hours in cute but non- supportive shoes. DO PILATES. You’ve heard it a million times, but sweet golden cheeses will pilates help in pregnancy. I do pre- natal pilates with Candice Kino, director of pre and post- natal pilates at Studio PP in South Yarra, twice a week. PP is where I have religiously done reformer pilates studio since mid- 2. I have regained a shitload of strength and mobility. Stuff you want when you’re up duff. Some pregnancy exercise tips and loving warnings from Candice: NOTE: Always seek medical advice if unsure. Don’t exercise if your doctor has recommended you not to, you dingus! Strengthen your deep core. Focus on strengthening your deep core muscles (esp the pelvic floor) with APPROPRIATE exercises. These muscles will support you through pregnancy, minimising pelvic instability/pain and low back pain, and help deliver your baby. I highly recommend investing in a private session or pregnancy- specific exercise class with a pre- natal qualified instructor – even if it’s only once – to help you learn about your deep core and pelvic floor muscles and how to strengthen them effectively. Focus on good posture. Sit, stand and walk tall! You need a strong back and glutes! Strengthening your hamstrings and glutes will help support your pelvis and pelvic floor muscles. Increasing your mid- back strength will also support your deep core and get you strong for lifting the baby. For posture, strength, and, of course, BIRTHING SUPERPOWER.) 3. Avoid coning. This is when you see bulging down the middle of your belly because your deep core muscles aren’t able to support you in an exercise or movement. SO AVOID CRUNCHES AFTER THE FIRST TRIMESTER! This includes getting up from your back when in bed; instead roll to your side to get up. Your exercises should change or be modified as you progress through your pregnancy. NOTE: Appropriate exercises can be different for each woman and each pregnancy. See a trainer who is qualified to give advice for exercise throughout your pregnancy. Listen to your body. If it doesn’t feel good, DON’T DO IT! You should feel better after a workout. A lot of it is analgesic. There are numerous benefits for both mum and bub to exercise appropriately during pregnancy and it’s never too late to start – even if you are in your third trimester. Candice and I. She began helping me at 6- weeks post- partum, when I was in world of pain, and I have seen her at least monthly since. As the pregnancy heats up, (“boob sweat”) and things get sexy (“snoring, waddling, panting”) I see Dan weekly, or more if my pubis is being bitchy. Osteo is magical. I can’t tell you exactly what it is, I don’t think anyone knows, it may be a government secret, but it involves muscular and structural release and relief, and I cannot believe I did a whole pregnancy with out it. No friggen wonder my pubis got so fucked up. FIND A GOOD OSTEO, is my loudest and caps lockiest piece of pregnancy health. They’re everywhere now. Get one who understands the pregnant body. I asked Daniela, at gunpoint, to write some stuff for me about pre- natal Osteo: “Your body will go through tremendous change during pregnancy. With these changes it is unfortunately very common for women to experience musculoskeletal pain, but they do not always seek treatment. There is help available! By understanding the hormonal and physical changes that are occurring during pregnancy, your Osteopath may provide you with much needed relief. My aim is to assist women in the natural process of pregnancy by using appropriate treatment techniques to restore motion and reduce muscle tension, thereby maximising the ability to cope with the physical changes that occur with a growing baby. When your body is stronger, you tend to cope a lot better with the physical changes of pregnancy. As part of your treatment, we can also advise you on pelvic floor and other specific exercises to strengthen your body. We can also advise you on particular activities* to avoid during pregnancy.*She’s not kidding. She will text me if she sees me sitting in an unstable position on Instagram. I’M AN UNASHAMED TEACHER’S PETCandice and Daniela give me strengthening stuff to do at home: clams, leg raises, squat pulses, Theraband stuff, pelvic- floor breathing, and lots of foam- rolling, fit ball stretching, cat- cows, and spiky ball release stuff. In the past, if you had told me to exercise daily, for fitness, or weight- loss, or some form of glorious #fitspo physique, I would have tapered off after about four days. But since I know what happen if I don’t do these exercises, I don’t miss a day. I expect some form or medal to arrive in the mail any day now. An array of my homework accoutrements. They look fun! They’re really not. I take magnesium powder every day, and have a magnesium spray I use at night on sore bits, and go through a tonne of Epsom Salts. Magnesium is the preggos’ best friend. Tastes gross; does good stuff. BE A SMART PREGGOPregnancy is unforgiving, relentless work. This is not a time to play martyr or hero. Ask your partner for a foot rub every night, with no guilt. Have a rest when you can. It’s a real P in the A but I try.) And, have as many massages as you can afford: don’t think of it as a luxury, your body desperately needs release and care.
