Waddling

Scottwswife · April 2014

Hi all. I've responded to posts before but this is my first time using the new discussion button, so please be gentle.

This week at work I noticed that I'm starting to walk differently.. I'm sticking the belly out in front to keep the weight off of my bladder and gi tract. Anyone else there yet?

I definitely notice that I stand up straighter/lean back a little to accommodate the increasing weight in front of me. I don't think I would call it waddling, though, at least not yet. Probably by the end of 3rd tri, I'll get there!

I've noticed I do a little waddle when I really gotta pee, if I'm having more RLP or lower back pain so I tend to move slower so I dont agrivate it

People tell me I have a little waddle but I feel like I walk the same as always. Sometimes, when my back hurts I walk a little funny.

I only waddle when my SPD is really bad and I'm getting up from the couch and I'm trying to walk the pain out!

I always waddle. It feels more comfortable to walk when I do.

I'm not super big but I pull my belly/baby In towards my spine since sticking out my stomach strains my back. It's supposed to be good pregnancy posture anyways. I don't like standing or walking much these days

I've been walking like I have hip dysplasia for a week or 2 already

I don't know if I'm walking all that differently but I am sitting differently. My stomach is just so huge (twins) and if I sit for too long with my legs together (or heaven forbid I try crossing them!) it is just so uncomfortable. It's not cute, or very ladylike... I don't know what I'll do when the weather gets warmers and I start wearing more dresses or skirts.

I have definitely started to overcompensate for the belly by leaning back, and I noticed today my feet turning out a little when I was walking through the grocery store. Tonight my back is pretty sore as a result.

Yes, this...when I've been on my feet for a while, everything starts to hurt, especially my lower back. And I noticed I'm leaning back how to compensate for the big belly, which makes me waddle!
