OW! is there a six month ache?

[tyaca]

23wks ish.

and have been fine, save for v tired recently.

but had loads of cramps and i just ACHE all i my leg joints, hips and pelvis. i feel like an old woman, and i can barely move. i dont really show, and tho' i wasnt v fit before pg, this has been a bit of a bolt from blue the last few days.

get checked out by midwife to rule out anything more serious, and calm your worries.

I had mad aching and cramping in my legs and joints during pg, it's down to the fact that the hormones loosen all your joints and make your muscles move very slightly differently from usual. Add this to a bit of extra weight and a change in centre of gravity (perhaps changing your posture a bit?) and you see why it is easy to get aches and pains.

ty giggle, currently moving hospitals so am > midwives, but will mention when i next touch base

good to hear i'm not the only one, tho' cant say my joints feel loosened! time to finally sign up to a mater' yoga group i think

Achy hips and legs here! I've added some support (pillows) to my hips and legs when I sleep and it's helped some.
Are you due in March too?

i feel the same as well i am 23 weeks this last week have felt like have run 100 miles when really only just got up and got kids breakfast

well at least it only me was feeling really down and upset about feeling this crap

hi all - glad i'm not alone.

the run a million miles thing is about right. i've done the first year of a shiatsu massage course, and was trying to work some life into them last night -- all the time wishing DH would magic up a talent for rubbing! (bless him, he has tried a couple of times, but never has a person been less able to massage)

incidentally, my shiatsu college advertised a few months ago for preg ladies to practice on for a preg massage course. all the practioners were fully trained pro's and this was a post-grad weekend for people wanting more experience in preg work. unfort'ly, at the time i was less than 12 weeks, and they dont like to practice on people before then BUT makes me think, there must be loads of shiatsu, refloxoloy, reiki, massage courses etc crying out for PG women.

off to hunt! will post details of anything i find!

Same here - I'm 22 +4 and I've been feeling like this for the last couple of weeks. I did a load of housework yesterday afternoon, and I really regretted it all evening and to a certain extent today. I could hardly stand up. With my first pg, I'm sure I didn't feel like an 80 year old until after 30 wks
