27 Weeks and can't stand or walk for long anymore

I've actually not been able to stand or walk for very long since about 22-23 weeks along.

It makes it hard to cook dinner and clean up. Bending over to pick things up is definitely something I hardly do anymore.

Getting dressed and getting my undies and pants on is getting difficult, too. LOL!!!

But, the thing that I found so funny was I could BARELY get out of the bath tub last night, LOL!!! It was so funny. I guess it's time for dh's help getting out.

Is anyone else experiencing any of this?

 

Oh yes I gave up the bathtub at around the same time! And just recently figured out how to get my legs over the tub to get a shower LOL. I don't pick them up I bend at the knee and place my leg down on the bathtub. My husband bought me one of those reach grabbers found at Health/Medical stores, but I think he actually found it at Menards. That was helpful, but for the past couple weeks I've given up on the house and just expected my family to pick up for me. My kids have destroyed the house over and over again, but I can't keep up with them. I hope you find some creative ideas to help get you through the next 10+ weeks.

 

Yes, I remember trying to get up from being down in the tub! Man, my arms got a workout. The worst was shaving! My dh towards the end had to shave my legs. They just don't do a good job though. Take care of yourself & hang in there!

 

oh yes.. right there with you. good thing I have a jacuzzi tub because I can actually turn over and get on my hands and knee's to get up. I can't bend over to pick things up.. I have to ask the kids to do that. I am supposed to finish up last minute *big ticket item* shopping this weekend and I am thinking there will be LOTs of breaks between stores.

Yesterday I woke up HURTING.. I didn't think that I had done that much the day before but when I woke up I felt as if I had ran a marathon (with no pre training) in my sleep. It hurt EVERYWHERE..today is much better though.. I guess its my body telling me that even doing a little might be a little to much.

 

My DH installed a grab bar in our tub so I could use it to get up. LOL WOrks pretty well for now. I don't know for how much longer though.

Good luck

 

Yes, defintely experienced that and still am. It gets worse too! Its a mission to get dressed in the morning especially socks! LOL!

My DH does pretty much everything now as I just can´t! It´s time to put your feet up and relax

GL with the rest of your pregnancy and I hope you find some relief soon!

 

I remember feeling like this last time and wondering how I am going to manage this time....last time I didn't have little ones to take care of and I am now a SAHM since just before they were born, so it is alllll me, allllll the time......I am not looking forward to the super bad pelvic pain that I know will be coming, it used to feel like my pelvis was going to bust in two
