Quote From: ruby21I am almost 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. With Nicole, my first child, I had a wonderful pregnancy...no sickness, and i felt fit and healthy the whole time. With this little guy, I have so many aches and pains. I have a permanent "stich" in my right side. Yesterday it got a lot worse, and I went into the hospital on a nurses recommendation. They said that because it's my second child, my stomach muscles aren't as strong, and therefore aren't holding up as well as they did with my first. Has anyone else had this problem? It's just getting worse now, with no relief, and I am worried because I have to look after a 2 1/2 year old and take care of teh housework and stuff for another 5 weeks.
If you really think about all the work your body does when carrying a baby it's amazing that we just don't fall apart in the process. :) I have carried six children to term and have had this problem too. Has your doctor recommended something to support your belly? Mine looked like an Ace bandage. Ask them about it. It does help.
You might try laying on your left side and if you are lucky enough to have someone rub your hips shoulders and back have them do it.
Stretch.....
keep hydrated.
Now for the things that cost. :) Yoga stretches with a good prenatal instructor and or a pregnancy massage. I know, we think ....it's just me and it cost a lot but just think what a better mom you will feel like when your body feels good.
Hang in there, the good thing about motherhood is that you are never alone!
Best wishes
