3rd Trimester

getting harder and harder to bend over!!! LOL!

Last night I was on a roll with cleaning and organizing, and I felt totally fine.  But bending over is becoming so difficult!  I feel like my stomach almost hurts when I bend down to pick something up!  Anyone else?

Re: getting harder and harder to bend over!!! LOL!

  • The last 2 weeks has been horrible bending over. I just look at things I drop on the floor and think, Is this worth it to pick it up? lol.....

  • I feel kinda nauseous if I bend too much.  Like the weight of lo is pushing on my organs and making me feel sick (which he probably is...) lol.  I have learned to pick stuff up with my feet.  I did that at work yesterday and grossed my boss out.  I dropped a pen and I picked it up with my toes! lol.  He was like "that is nasty!"  I replied with "not as nasty as you nawing on your pens until they break!" He wasn't too happy with that.  haha.

  • I'm not doing much bending either. It also makes me feel sick to my stomach. I'm all about the squat. It does wonders for my productivity.

  • Oohh...good idea.  I bet it will tone up the be-hind as well.  I'll be squatting to pick things up now!

    of course it's going to hurt! you have a BODY in your belly that you are bending into when you bend over.

  • I finally broke down and bought a bathing suit because it's supposed to be really hot this weekend and I really want to go swimming.  I'm not to keen on the idea of getting into the bathing suit....to top it off, I REALLY needed to do some "maintenance" downstairs.   OMG, my husband was laughing so hard listening to me grunt and swear in the shower.  What a freaking process.  No way I'll be able to do that again!

  • Not only is it hard for me to bend over, but I get nauseas every time too! I don't even try to clean anything any more and I have to ask my kids to pick stuff up for me :)

  • Same here. When I have to bend over, I am very careful b/c my sense of balance is off. I almost fell one time trying to pick something off the ground. Yeah, so if I drop something, it is dead to me. LOL

  • Instead of doing a full bend over where the belly gets squished, do a sumo squat to pick stuff up...if it's worth picking up :) Sumo squats are GREAT prep for labor prep too, strengthen your pelvic floor muscles not to mention it's a way to get down low without actually "bending" over!

     This exactly! I told my coworker if I fell over I'd look like an flipped turtle or bug. I won't laugh at them anymore.
