I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me complain LOL

But WHY do people want to be pregnant? LOL. I am finally over the morning sickness Thank God.

Now I have this excruciating pain coursing down my hip and into my leg. when I am not moving it is ok.... but as soon as I move it's like someone is sticking a knife in my hip.

The Dr says there is really nothing he can do for me. He said it is likely that a nerve is being pinched due to the pregnancy. and that is COULD possibly last the whole time. AHHHHHH I can't take it anymore.

It gets worse the more I am on my feet. I try to stay off my feet as much as possible but my job requires that I am on my feet some of the time. Every step I take it stabs.

I just thank god that I am not an elephant and have a gestation period of two years LOL. but I have 6 months to go (at least) and I am already going insane.

AHHHHH make it stop.

Lay down on your back & elevate you legs & feet for awhile. Should help
if you give it time. (1/2 hr.)

LOL Husky Mom. Thank you. hahaha I had a hilarious conversation at work today with a customer about labor lol. she was a riot. She says "the epidural was a God send but don't let anyone fool you... you can still FEEL the labor" LOL I was just like "well I don't know if I feel better about it or worse" LOL

Do you guys think a heat pad on my butt would help LOL. I have these heat things that you put in the micro wave... or should I avoid that.

And I dont know what it is right now but my heart feels like it is about to beat out of my chest lol. I don't think it is palpatations but it feels wierd lol. is that normal. it better be cause I am home alone

How much elevation should I have? a Pillow? two pillows? or more.

I mean... it must be my uterus pinching the nerve LOL I don't understand how a two inch baby could be causing that much of a pinch... I don't even wanna think about it getting bigger.... I was born at 10 lbs. lol

Well, as you said in another thread, life is not suposed to be easy.

Lay on the floor & rest you legs on the bed.

Pregnancy proves that

but I just think... it is easier than being an elephant.. that is my saving grace. Two years and a baby that weighs hundreds of pounds. imagine that.

what about heat? Is that OK or is that against one of the pregnancy rules I got pamphlet about?

But trust me you... this has given me a higher respect for my sister in law.... she is on her 4th pregnancy. That amazes me lol

Get in touch with some local midwives & see if someone offers yoga for expectant moms -- some teachers do. You could learn some gentle stretching exercises that may help shift your internal organs around a bit & give you some relief. My friend who teaches yoga had several special classes for people with different physical stuff going on. She teaches Iyengar style, where the emphasis is on supported poses, correct alighment & creating more internal space. I did Tai Chi during my first pregnancy & it really helped.

This is totally normal!

My daughter experienced the same thing and was concerned enough to ask her doctor because at times it seemed like her heart was racing. He told her it was because her body was busy making increased blood vessels, for her and her unborn baby. The heart has to work harder because it has to send blood to many new places now.

They told her to only be concerned if her pulse was around 130

Enjoy your pregnancy. The worst is yet to come. LOL! I remember when I was 8 months pregnant I would get such shooting pains down my legs that I would have to sit down immediately to make it stop. This happened one day in the grocery store and I sat on the bottom shelf of a Pepsi display.

After that experience my husband did the grocery shopping until after the baby was born.

I'm just starting morning sickness.....crampy, pulling stomach....so tired all the time all I want to do is sleep.....and I wouldn't change a second of it, not for anything in the world

I think it's the only time in my life I have been happy to feel like I've been run over by a truck.

Sparks--This does sound a bit like sciatica but it could be a pinched nerve also. Would your doc allow you to see an accupuncturist? They are supposed to be a godsend for so many people. Personally have never tried one but friends that do see one swear by them.
You actually sound pretty funny with this pregnancy, stop worrying and relax. I have a feeling your heart palpitations are anxiety attacks brought on by some stress. Relax and pamper yourself, this is the time for it. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
