Pregnant after a Loss

hard time getting up

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.
