need to vent due to sciatica. Sorry if you ladies are suffering worse then me :|

[hawalkden]

Well here I am feeling sorry for myself in bed on the makeshift which OH though would be a great idea (& 2bh I'd recommended it to anyone if they are having back or hip pain and you've got a spare duvet ) I've doubled over duvet sleeping bag, OH uses the other one to himself so he can't complain I'm taking all the quilt now! Looks like we're school kids again, joking about I've taken half the bed but should stay in 'our half of the bed!' and the extra duvet I've got I'm bulked up on my lower back. Due to falling in the bathroom because of the mild sciatica I'm suffering with, this is the 3rd time today already that I've fallen or my legs just gone dead, lucky it's when I've not been moving on it and it's when I start to or stand up so I've got support e.g. the bath for that fall or the sofa when I get up to do something.

I've got OH t-shirt on and thrown my bra off in a tantrum due to it's just bugging me with the tightness it's giving me. I think I'm just feeling fed-up now and I'm only 28 weeks pregnant and I'm dreading coming to the end when I can't do anything like I can still do now and I'm stuck in the house!

Bottoms and underwear is off due to thursh I'm suffering with again. Keeps on flaring up and debating weather to wait till Thursday when I see midwife or go to my Doc tomorrow and get something for it. I've just had a frozen flannel on her for a while and it's eased but the itching will be back soon!

Resorted to the bedroom because I just can't get comfy on the sofa even though we've not digital box for the telly I've ended listening to online local radio! Haha.

Texting OH making him feel sorry for me even though he's working and I feel really bad because I've not done anything at all all day. I finished work at 24 weeks due to bleeding and stress of work so been at home since and man since the sciatica kicked in a lot more it's getting more and more boring within the house.

If it wasn't for B&B and looking at older threads I think I'd cry all day! My body is use to doing nothing so can't have a mini nap!

Hope I don't sound like I'm over reacting and I feel for you ladies who are suffering from personal medical conditions due to pregnancy and can't do anything.

I don't think you are overreacting honey. Sciatica is horrible. I had it , in my case it is not too bad but still, it is very uncomfortable when it comes up and one of my biggest worry is that it will be more frequent or stronger later in pregnancy. So honey i really feel for you and i hope you get better soon xx hugs xx

Hi I thought (or think) that I could have it, from looking up my symptoms, reading books and talking to other people but when I went to the dr he said that because my back didn't hurt and the pain was just my bum it wasn't it...week later and every now and then my legs buckle under me and I scream out in pain. It's not as bad as it was, I had a horrendous limp (I'm only 16 weeks) but he said it was more likely I'd pulled a muscle lifting something his parting words were "There are many things I could prescribe you but they're all dangerous to the baby" so I said thanks but no thanks and limped off I'm now off work with a migraine (something else I'm having to suffer through because I can't take my magic migraine tablets).

As much as I feel for you, I'm also glad I'm not the only one sat in front of the laptop on this site all day pretty much sulking hope you feel better soon chick x

I'm honestly surpirsed the midwife said that it was a condition regarding it every time i go and 'moan' about something last time it was spotting but everything i say which i feel is worrying me they replay with 'it's part of pregnancy, you wanted to be pregnant'..

I think most of the time when I go the midwife just wants to tick their patients attendance list and don't care..

Even though the midwife i see now is very caring about me and peanut.. (after i asked to be seem by someone else) she's just lovely and i'm greatful for seeing her every week (due to stupid Type One diabetes!!).

OH says it's like being with his grandma and not his gf when we're doing the weekly shopping due to the pase of me walking has basically come to -1mph! haha

I'm just thinking when peanut is here it's all worth it but you always envy the ladies who don't know they are pregnant and they are doing their everyday jobs etc and just get on with it without any pregnancy cons!
