Is this normal for 33 weeks?

Hi ladies :-) Today marks 33 weeks for us! I'm so glad we've made it this far :-) I am on modified bed rest so I spend a good amount of my days sitting down, relaxing as well as doing little things like folding clothes, writing thank you notes, knitting, etc. Is it normal for my whole body to just ache? I guess I expected my legs and hips and lower back to be achy, but even my arms and my neck just hurt...like an arthritic pain. 

I don't mean to be a complainer...just need someone to reassure me that this is par for the course at this point :-)

    I felt the same way! I finally had my twins last friday, but up to that point, I was in bed for weeks. I figured that my whole body ached because I wasn't using any muscles.

    I felt fine- until bedrest at 31 weeks- after a few days my whole body ached- but esp. my pubic bones..  I think it had something to do with the inactivity.  While I didn't do as much as I did before pregnancy- I was still pretty active until they put me on bedrest.

    Starting at around 32 weeks (I have been on bed rest for many weeks by that point) my entire body hurt.  I think it's pretty common, especially on bed rest since you can't get up and move around very much.  Hang in there!  You are SO close!

    I definitely say normal. I've been on bed rest for 11 weeks now and am so weak and achey, I can't stand it. It's what your body needs at this point, but it definitely does a disservice to your muscles. Good luck, you're almost thereM

    This is my siggy. Love it.
