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.

I think I read somewhere about a Yoga class around here. The Dr's office gave me a pamphlet with a list of classes they provide but i doubt Yoga is one of them through the hospital.

Would I just look under midwives or OBGYN? LOL I am totally lost when it comes to this stuff. But I have heard good things about prenatal yoga and am willing to try anything at this point.

I got in touch with my midwife through friends at a natural health food store- several of them had used her. You might try asking at places like that. There is probably something on the internet, too.

Also, I had a friend who was pregnant with her first child and attended the same chiropractor I did. Get referrals from other people of course - maybe a midwife can help.

I think you look them up under "midwives". Or call the Y or a family planning centre.

I hope you are better soon!!!

I can't believe I didn't think of a Chiropractor. I used to see one ALL the time...

I will definately contact someone about the prenatal yoga classes. They will be good for me anyway and I heard they can really help towards the labour.

Be very thankful you can get pregnant. I would do anything to have a child, but can't. Being pregnant may not be the best, but just think about the end result! I would trade shoes with you in a heartbeat.
