4th pregnancy... I feel huge, have sciatic pain & I am only 16+ weeks along...

Just need to rant... 

This is my fourth pregnancy & I feel like I popped out so quickly. I started wearing maternity clothes SO quickly & I don't feel cute & preggers... I feel fat. On top of that my sciatica pain is awful. I experienced pain in my first pregnancy at the end, my second one about two-thirds the way through, my third was about half way through & this time around almost immediately. 

Recently my left leg gets this weird numb type sensation & tingles. Driving my batty!!! Anyone else out there experience something like this? Sometimes I feel like my leg might give out. I am hoping a good massage & a chiropractor will help.

    This is my third PG and while I didn't show earlier, I think I am carrying lower this time and it's much more uncomfortable. Is the numbness in your left leg down the back? If so, it could be related to the sciatic pain and there may be exercises you can do. Whatever it is, I hope you feel better soon!

    I soooooo understand the sciatic pain!!!  I was hardly able to walk (people in the hospital were offering me wheelchairs when I would walk to the NICU to see my son last pregnancy)  I started to get it with this pregnancy (my third) but I did some stretches and it went away.... so my advice to you is stretch stretch stretch....

    I will definitely do some exercises. Need to get to my pilates classes, that may be just the thing I need! 

     

    Thanks ladies! :)

    I've never had sciatica pain, but I get you on feeling huge. This is my third pregnancy, and I don't look enormous yet, but I honestly feel like I'm at least 6 or 7 months pregnant (I am really only 15 weeks)! I am scared that I am having twins!

    I had my first four daughters in 6.5 years, and I showed earlier each time. I think those abs are just stretched out a bit. Plus my kids got larger each PG too. 

    Sorry to hear about the back pain. Maybe a good massage would help?
