Chicken legs

thegoodpotato

My hip joints are so loose.  I feel like a well cooked chicken. If you pull on my leg a little, it'll come right off.  I can't believe how much looser my joints are in my second pregnancy. 

Last time I was walking 5km every day with no problems. This time, a 20 minute walk kills my joints. 

Rant over, sorry.  I just am struggling with this baby.  I think it's trying to kill me.

I'm in the same boat. I was a long distance runner up until my BFP, and tried unscuuessfully to continue on through pregnancy. My OB thinks I'm either overproducing the relaxin hormone or have normal levels but react strongly to it, my joints are a total mess.

I felt like this at the beginning but it seems to have gone away for now.  Thank goodness.  I used to go to get off the couch and it felt like my legs were going to detatch!  Hope it gets better:)

I kind of wish I did. I moved my leg yesterday to get more comfortable and it wouldn't really go and then the hip muscle cramped and it was so painful I almost cried. I just keep thinking there is no way I'm going to be able to have my legs up during this birth. I'm 34 weeks today, so hopefully it kicks in soon!
