hard time getting up

moniquitta

Man, I'm only at 21 weeks now and I am already have a hard time getting up off the couch or if I crouch down to the lower cabinets in the kitchen.  Getting out of bed I sometimes feel like a rolly-polly.  What is it going to be like in 5 then 10 then 15 and even possibly 20 weeks.  wow.

Is it because my muscles aren't used to all this extra weight that I have this issue?

I feel your pain, I feel like a turtle that has been flipped on their back most days.

I feel like a pole vaulter every time I get up.

It helps me to roll on my side and use my bent elbow to boost myself out of bed all in one motion.

It only seems to get worse the further along you get.  I can remember starting to have a little trouble around 20 weeks and now that I'm almost 30 weeks I keep thinking what will it be like at the end.  My husband has to help me sometimes.  I think its because all the weight we're carrying is in our stomach and it throws your balance completely off.
