Ouch.

I am 35 weeks with my second lil monster, and this one has been rough. With my first I was 160 pounds at 9 months, and at my last doc visit I was 184. Oops! I was wondering if anyone had any remedies for back pain, middle of the night leg cramps and keeping up with a two year old when I am this giant! We do go to the park down in Meridian now and again to let her run rampant but around the house I can't stand or sit for too long without having some cramp or ache. Any advice is happily accepted!

I have a herniated disc in my lower back and can totally relate! I'm currently 31 weeks and have been doing really well until just recently. Warm baths really help me, and most docs say heat and cold altered works well. There are some easy prenatal yoga poses that help to ease back pain as well, but it's a bit difficult to describe online...maybe just google the poses? As far as the cramps, I get those too, and I just have to get out of bed and stretch my legs, walk around for a bit  and that usually helps a bit. As far as the 2 year old, I'm a ftm so I can't offer any advice there! Hope this helps, you only have 5 weeks to go, you can do it!
