Well I think I have over done it this time. I thought I was being so good being active during pregnancy; going to the gym, joining a prenatal group fitness class, and walking regularly....not to mention my plan to work for as long as possible. For the past month I have been having a pain in my right butt check which I thought was my sciatic nerve, well it turns out that my sacroiliac ligament (the ligament which stabilizes your pelvis) is stretched out due to my hormones being pregnant. This is a very common symptom but apparently not as bad as I have it. This weekend I was pretty much unable to walk and when I did it was more of a hobble. The pain is not only in my butt, but I now get shooting pains up my back and down my legs. I think it was my fitness class on Thursday that put me over the edge.... we did stair running! So now, needless to say I can't workout (unless I happen to have good day), physio can't do anything for me because they can't use ultrasound or Interferential Current, and I may have to stop work earlier than planned. Only good thing about this is my Dr. said it is setting me up for an easier natural birth. Oh how I love being pregnant! Only 40 more days!Monday, March 30, 2009

My cousin's wife, had something like this so bad. She was walking with those arm cruches for months,thats if she could walk that day at all. It was so hard on her and already having a baby at home to take care of in the meantime. Just remember it's going to all be over, very soon!YAHOO.....Just hang in there ,a little bit longer.

Erica, I am sorry to hear about the pain, doesn't sound good at all. Is this going to affect our dinner on Saturday? because if we have to wash our own dishes.. I might just bring paper plates! I hope Derek is treating you well! ;)
