The first negative impact of the pregnancy was that Kelly had severe back pains over the past weekend.  She was fine on Friday but woke up on Saturday in agony.  She managed to get through the day (we went out to North Cornwall, see my blog) but it got worse the next day.  Apparently it is a common problem with pregnant women as it has something to do with the chemicals that the body is producing to soften up the pelvic bone, ready for birth.  It causes the bone not to click into position properly, so is slightly mis-aligned. Ouch!

Thank goodness that I can report that it has eased off again as the week has progressed, and she is now almost back to normal.  Fingers crossed it doesn’t come back again, although Kelly found on a website that it can last all the way through to giving birth!  Hope it doesn’t!
