I also experience this pain when I try to put on pants without sitting - it is something about lifting the one leg up and out that puts me in pain for several mintues. Geeesh! I laughed with you on seeing yourself in the mirror! I caught an unexpected look at my profile on Sunday - I actually gasped! I could NOT believe that was ME!!! My tummy was soooo huge and poking-out-wildly round! I kept looking and turning until my hubby said, "yeah, you're getting there!". That's when I realized people were staring at the PG lady admiring herself in the mirror. I wanted to crawl in a hole for fear that I'd hurt an IF person's feelings, but then figured I'd earned my 5 seconds of amazement with myself and my tummy.

I know they have all sorts of sexy girdles etc, just don't know if any of it is appropriate for you. Or, failing that, any exercises which might give relief? Might be worth asking your OB? Nevertheless, I imagine there's going to be discomfort from here on in. Glad you at least got a good night's sleep - it does make things seem more manageable.

Like: eeks... this baby has to come out! My husband was like: DUH! I have to ditto you on everything here: the shock at seeing myself in the mirror, the pain of seeing others, and the pain of pregnancy. I have been having this pelvic pain since about 24 weeks. I find it worst when I first stand up (from bed, from the computer...) but as I get moving (er, waddling) it eases itself. Wishing you a bit of pain relief...

And side stitches have come back--I don't know what they hell those are, ligament pain akin to early pregnancy? who knows. The random aches and pains are both unsettling and uncomfortable. Oh, and yeah, the birth thing, Y-I-K-E-S. But, I'm glad you were finally able to get a good, restful night's sleep. That can make SUCH a difference. :-) Ugh– I have that groin pain, too.

You are SO right. Ugh. The last several weeks have taken a toll on my hips and joints as well. My one piece of advice to you? Be careful getting in and out of the shower. I limped for 2 days after a slip that almost had me doing the splits. At 35 weeks pregnant. I'm willing to put up with it for the end result of my very own little baby, but this is no picnic! Amen!

She's called my mother in law. I never complained about my pregnancy but I also never lied when people asked me how it was going--she never missed an opportunity to tell me how great it was for her. Good for her. Groin pain for the rest of us. But oh let me tell you, it is so worth it! Loving that little baby is the best thing that ever happened to my husband and I.

I looooove it. :) Sorry about the waddling. Not long now, though, huh? Exciting stuff. I think that God makes pregnancy awful in the end to trick you into WANTING to squeeze another human being out your vajayjay. LMAO at you rolling your eyes at YOUR OWN pregnant belly!

And I think having the whole IF experience heightens all of that. Because you feel a bit guilty cuz you "wanted" this so much and had to work so hard--to waddle like a duck. :-) The good news about the birth thing--you don't remember it.
