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.

LOL oh Sparky the best is yet to come. Can't wait for your funny comments concerning delivery. After that you will have a babe in your arms for the next two years, sleepless nights, being spit on, pooped on. Having to carry 15 lb bags with diapers, bottles, wipes, nukey, two changes of cloths, toys. Never being able to go anywhere alone. This is the easy part. After this your life will never be as easy again. I know I had three and I enjoyed every painful, sleepless, heartbreaking moment.

LOL you are giving me so much to look forward to No seriously I am really excited and happy about this. But I didn't expect all these quirky little aches and pains. My favourite thing to say is "I can't wait to get the baby belly where people KNOW you are pregnant and dont just think you are getting fat." LOL

But I am scared which I think is normal. our friends just had their first baby in November and she said for the first two months she just cried everyday because she had no idea what she was supposed to do... when to change... when to feed... when to sleep. But I figure If I expect the worst... it won't be as bad as I anticipate... RIGHT?!
