So, on the SPD front, I got frustrated with the physical therapist and quit.  She was nice and cool and all, but didn't seem to know how to help.  I kept getting the feeling like she was totally winging it.  So I've been seeing a chiropractor who seems confident that he knows what he's doing, which I guess is a good sign.  I can't tell if it's

ok, what worked for me with the spd is I slept on my back (yeah yeah I know) with my hips elevated with three pillows and the rest of me unsupported, no pillow under my head, it was stupid uncomfortable during the first few days but I was able to WALK, and I got used to it eventually, SPD is a bitch!

Is Sheila going to lactate as well? MAN it would have been convenient to have an extra lactation source in the house!

PS, the reality that Winter came from my body STILL boggles my mind to this day!

I can't even sleep on my right side some nights from the reflux, so I doubt I could manage to sleep on my back with my hips elevated. That's interesting that it helped you though. How soon did it start to get better after you had your baby?
Sheila was thinking about trying to lactate, and was talking about it a bit, but I'd be surprised if she actually does it. It supposedly takes several hours a day of pumping, for weeks or months before anything happens, and I doubt she'd stick with it. Luckily I seem to have an overabundance of breast secretions, so I'll probably start freezing the extra pretty soon.

worked the next day!!
I wouldn't worry about having enough, you'll make MORE than enough to accommodate your baby

I am so relieved every time I hear from someone whose SPD got better right away! :)
