Mommy's thumb

[atangiblewish]

This has been on my mind for days now...I had mommy's thumb with V...really bad, in both wrists. Some of you may have remembered she fell out of my arms when i tripped because I couldn't hold onto her with my wrists and the fall. 

I'm due with #2 in March and am so scared that I will get them again....so for those of you that had it with a 1st and have had more kiddos...did it come back? Or what did you do differently? I don't think I could go through that again...Especially with two kids...

I didn't get it that bad but I did get it with both kiddos. I bought wrist braces that specifically have a thumb splint built in.

Yea I had to use those on both hands. I'm thinking this time I'll get the shots right away if recognize it coming back.

You still have it? That sucks! I'm so sorry. Have you thought about the shots? That is if you haven't already tried. I didn't want to since cortisone is horrible, but I just couldn't do anything anymore because the pain was so unbearable.

It's just crazy how painful it is. I wish it was one of those things they warn you about. Lol.
