this pregnancy has been fine, and then I hit 32 wks and I am SO sore, like I was at 37 wks with my other kids. The baby is on a big nerve, very low, I feel stabbing pain when I walk, and today I feel like my hips are splitting apart. Unfortunately I cant rest much with a 3 yo and 23 month old at home and my DH gone until June 1. I just met with a mothers helper today and plan on using her a few times a week though. I feel bad for my kids, all I want to do is lay down.
I can't imagine going much longer, I had my kids at 38 and 39 wks, but I am so uncomfortable that even 3-4 weeks makes me want to cry. (and it could be longer)
I just need to get through until JUne 1 and then DH will be home for a month to help me out so I can put my butt in bed and rest. come on June
Re: my hips are so sore
I'm suffering too - much more and earlier than the last too.
I've been doing prenatal yoga and honestly have decided to stop going to class as all the 'opening' that we're doing is making me concerned as my hips already feel like they're going to split and baby falls out (my kegels aren't great either - blushes).
I do find baths, after the kids are asleep help alot, but other than that, not much does.
I know our bodies are supposed to be designed for this, but this third is making me wonder if mine is? (although I haven't had any problems, just really starting to feel everything this past week).
