Becoming involved with
the Pelvic Instability Association is one way of connecting with
other women who have gone through something similar
-
Try to remember that
most women recover from Pelvic Instability within the first six
months after delivery
-
Try to get out - take
advantage of friends, hire an electric scooter at the local shopping
centre, sit outside in the fresh air for a while
-
Invite people around,
try to reduce your need to have a tidy house in order to have
visitors!
-
Use the internet
to communicate with people who are going through similar
circumstances eg:
http://forums.delphiforums.com/pelvis
for Pelvic Instability, also the Disabled Parents Network
www.disabledparentsnetwork.org.uk
-
Consider treating
yourself to having a pedicure (it’s often so hard to reach your feet
and there is often a lot of time to spend looking at your toenails!)
-
Make the effort to
continue to wear perfume and makeup if you would normally do this,
or just some scented bath soap or lotion
-
Make an effort to
create laughter in your day (even if you need to resort to hiring
out 'Fawlty Towers' videos!)
-
If you feel you are
not coping or becoming depressed, talk to your GP or Maternal and
Child Health Nurse
