Hip to be a dude
Monday, March 15th, 2010I have two words for you.
Holy crap.
Wait. Not those two.
These: Pubic Symphysis
For those not up to speed on medical lingo, it is the point where a body’s left and right hip-bones join together.
Right now, this area is having a bit of a tiff and they are going their separate ways…
…at my expense.
Apparently this fetus has been camping down low in my pelvis for so long because she refuses to get out that the pressure is taking its toll.
This joint normally loosens during pregnancy due to hormones, but in some cases it can become abnormally wide, misaligned, and tear. To give you some idea of how awesome this feels here is a little Wiki excerpt for you:
In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis attaches to the pubic symphysis. In females, the pubic symphysis is intimately close to the clitoris….
As much as this sucks, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the suggestion of using a ‘Rice Sock‘ to treat the pubic pain.
I could totally rival The Pregnant Man with a lavender scented stuffed sock wedged in my panties.
