Anyone finding normal activites much more of a challange????

Alibeebs · Jul 11th, 2009, 06:21 AM

ARRRRRGGG!!!

I feel so useless some days.
I cant bend down to put switches on, i cant get up from my sofa easily...
i cant lift anything, or walk a long walk without having crazy back pain and throbbing legs!

My bump seems to be getting in the way a lot.

Im also going to have a rant about car parks....see when people park so close to you and you cant get in through the tiny gap well how about when your PREGNANT, i had this the other day, i actually couldnt get into my car without squishing my bump! GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR

Also i feel a bit useless when it comes to sex...I pretty much lie there and take it....

i mean i just cant do all the stuff i used to. I cant move easy when im on top now...and if i bend over my legs cramp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHA

Sorry folks xxxxx

Lol I am exactly the same as you hun,it started getting quite difficult around week 20 and OMG just lil things are such a pain,like getting out of the bath,or standing up in the bath to wash myself,rolling over in bed (like a mammoth operation,lol) and yes like u its the sex thing,although have to say i always wanted big boobs but now when i lay on my back when we have sex i feel suffocated *cry* all these years of waiting for the big mammas,lmao..
It doesnt get easier,lol,well it hasnt for me but i do think you learn to adapt more.

Lol I have notice certain restrictions lately but I imagine it'd only get worse. I tried to reach for the remote whilst on the sofa last night and just couldn't get it!! There was only so far I was actually able to reach!

This is the beginning of the end...

i was like that when i was overweight earlier last year. Id managed to lose 5 stone, and felt fab....now ..its like it all over again. I cant bend down for love nor money, AND ITS only gonna get worse lol...

my husband said he will start ROLLING me around ha ha
Oh well aslong as it produces a healthy baby, i can always lose the weight again ...

ahava hun, it's all for a good cause

But yeah, I've noticed that I'm starting to have problems bending in the middle now! I cant put my shoes or socks on like I used to... I have to bend my leg around my bump already! When I was pregnant with my daughter, I got so big towards the end that I used to be in tears cos I couldnt reach my feet

I just know it's gonna happen again, but this time round I have a much more supportive partner who will gladly oblige helping me out of chairs or putting my shoes on. He's even offered to paint my toe nails and shave my legs for me, bless him!
As for the sex and my bumpage.... hmmm doggy style has become the new missionary position! Oh and spooning is great too

Can't bend, crouch or pretty much do anything that requires me to be able to reach lower than my waist.....nightmare with a small dog! Can't get off the sofa without help due to inability to lean forward combined with searing pain in the coccyx.

Feel utterly and completely rubbish lol....oh and I can't reach things higher than my head either...which is great as I'm only 5ft3 so not exactly a help when the kitchen cupboards are tall! Hubby has to get EVERYTHING for me.

Bedtimes are a joke. Takes me half an hour to put on a pair of pants. Sex is still ok but I think that my 'urges' overcome....this will not last much longer as I can feel my will waning despite my high sex drive!

(Having said that it helps my back so I try to think of it as medicinal!

)

I'm off on holiday today and I've got about 10 hours in the car in the next 2 days....most of which I'm doing the driving. I can see me being stiff as a board. As long as I can have a hot shower I should be o though!

Alibeebs · Jul 11th, 2009, 07:31 AM

Yeah i hear you with the doggy style.....but its a shame i hardly see his face much now when we are at it!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

Try spooning but face to face instead. You can lean as far forwards/back as is comfy and it's great for the back!!
