Issues with my legs!!

jessboyle10

So I have had some issues with my joints since becoming pregnant (I'm now 27 weeks).  Supposedly it's just my joints "expanding", well now I can feel it in my muscles and my legs keep giving out on me.  Recently it has been getting worse and I'm constantly stiff, my legs always feel like they are going to give way, and I feel a lot of pressure at time in my pelvis and hips.  I constantly feel like I'm going to keeping falling and one day it wont be to my knees (like I've been lucky enough so far to happen)  Does anyone else have issues like this? And if so what do you do about it?

My hips at times will hurt so badly it literally stops me mid-step and makes me cringe... My OBGYN tells me it is just a relaxant designed to help your joints loosen in preparation for labor. I didn't experience this pain with my first two, so this is sort of new territory for me as well. Some days it seems to be worse than others, but I have not found anything that helps, mainly because it comes on so suddenly I can't predict when it will be an issue.

My hips ache something terrible in the middle of the night, but I haven't experienced the weak feeling or falling during the day. I feel this issue could simply be extremely fatigued muscles from you carrying around the extra weight. Have you tried seeing a chiropractor for relief? My lightning crotch brings me to my knees a lot...that's a separate problem from yours as well, but at least I can understand your struggle. Hang in there!

I am 25 weeks and have hip joint pain, sciatica, and general pressure.

Isn't pregnancy beautiful? Lol
