I'm so achey!

I don't know what is going on, if it's prego related or not, but I got up three times last night to use the bathroom and each time, I couldn't get up because all my joints hurt really bad. JT had to help me get up and I could barely walk. I feel like my hip sockets are grinding. Anyone else get this around 32, 33 weeks? I'm in so much pain today. I started to feel it the last few days in my legs, but now it's my whole body.

Re: I'm so achey!

I have been that way too.
It almost feels like you have the flu and nothing makes it feel better. It makes me VERY cranky

Re: I'm so achey!

It's pretty sad because I am looking at my newspaper down on the bottom of my steps (I live in a second floor apartment), and I can't even make it down to go get it I feel like an old lady.

Re: I'm so achey!

That is exactly how I feel too.
I think it has something to do with being swollen, cause that is when it started to bother me.

Re: I'm so achey!

yup! The last few days were awfully achey - every move hurt. I was afraid I'd be like that for the rest of the pregnancy, but I'm feeling better today, so there's hope...

(eta: I'm not swollen, so its not related to that for me)

Re: I'm so achey!

I've been feeling achy since Friday night, and yesterday was almost horrible, but today I woke up feeling much better... except for my swollen feet. They're still fat, and hurt a lil. Makes me worried because I'm supposed to be going to a wedding tonight.. but what shoes am I gonna wear!?????

Re: I'm so achey!

Yes I feel the same way! I'm hobbling around! So nice to hear I'm not the only one.

Re: I'm so achey!

Im 34 weeks and feeling that too. My hips and lower back are killing me. By the end of the day I cant even get up the stairs without the greatest effort. I have 2 small kids which doesnt help either since they have no comprehension of my limitations but I remember having this when I was pg with #1 too. The baby is just getting heavier and most of the times, further into the pelvis which is such a killer for walking. Hence the preggo waddle.

Re: I'm so achey!

I've definitely graduated to the waddling stage of pregnancy!

Re: I'm so achey!

i've been this way for almost 2 weeks. my legs are soo achey and my groin has so much pressure (sorry, tmi) it almost feels like i am paralyzed when i first stand b/c i dont think one leg will hold me when i go to take a step. i guess it's stretching ... or is hanging out on a nerve somewhere

Re: I'm so achey!

I get this when I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning. As I keep walking, it improves. I'm really making a conscious effort not to waddle, but it's getting hard.

Re: I'm so achey!

Oh boy, the waddling, it's so hard NOT to when you feel like bending your legs is grinding your joints together. Everyone makes fun of me now!

Re: I'm so achey!

Not only did I have this, but I'm afraid it just continues straight through to the end b/c I'm at 37 weeks and it hasn't stopped yet. Just seems to get achier and achier.

Re: I'm so achey!

I'm just nervous because my school has no elevators and everything I have to do requires me to climb anywhere from 2 to 4 flights of stairs up to 15-20 times a day My classroom is on the first floor, but if I need the bathroom, which I do all the time, it's up three flight of stairs. The refrigerator for my lunch is on the fourth floor. My enrichment classroom is in the basement. I have recess duty which is down a flight of stairs and across a field about 1/4 mile away I'm just trying to hang in there for the rest of the school year, and this was an unexpected setback!
