beached whale with a bowling ball

39 weeks. Baby has been low but her head was not quite in position yet at 38 weeks,,, tonight I suddenly have the feeling of a bowling ball between my legs.

Pretty sure she is locked and loaded, dropped into position. I cannot walk. I have to do this waddle where I am painfully dragging one foot forward, then the other, while leaning forward bracing myself on the closest piece of furniture. I cannot move my legs/knees together.

I tried to climb into bed and got stuck, in pain, slightly on my back and literally could not move my left leg up. I couldn't move at all, totally felt like a beached whale! It took me ten minutes to find a way to shift my position while my 2-year-old asked why I was sad since by then I had tears of pain. DH was downstairs, oblivious since he thought I was just putting our daughter to bed.

Oh and my toddler has to sleep with me tonight since she fell down the stairs and hit her head. I have to wake her up every two hours to make sure she didn't get a concussion. So far she is ok but this is really not the night to be sleeping with me!

Hope y'all are hanging in there. Home stretch!

    Omg my DH had to help me out if bed and then to walk to the bathroom until I could grab onto the wall. Then had to help me lift my legs back into bed again. This is ridiculous. I don't remember having it this bad 2 years ago!

    I went through the exact same thing this past weekend. Husband was away and I was bawling every time I tried to even shift my weight. I thought something terrible had happened to my pelvis. We eventually reasoned that I had pulled a muscle getting out of the tub, since it only hurt while I was trying to move myself. He spent the next couple of days fetching and carrying, helping me get in and out of bed. Still not 100%, a little bit of muscle pain when getting up and down, but feeling soooo much better by now.

    I wish I had just pulled a muscle!

    I did manage to hobble around this morning and got DD her breakfast. I have a friend bringing me lunch today and a playmate for DD so I should be able to rest a bit. My mom and cousin's wife are both willing to come over too if need be, and my mom's already taking DD tomorrow for the whole day since I have an OB appt. i should be able to get through this! Home stretch, baby.

    I really really just want to do some sewing though...
