Aaaawww Ducky, I am jealous that you can feel your baby already!! I can't wait to feel kicking in my tummy, but I'll probably wish it would stop once it has started, especially if it keeps me up at night like it did for you!! Must be great to know that bubs is growing nice and strong, though
Amanthony... I'm with ya, honey: I am having hideous problems with my hips. My physio is desperately trying to help me to get them sorted out, but they have flared up again so badly this past week or so. If it helps, you may expect it to settle a bit more in a couple of weeks, as it can be to do with the levels of the hormone Relaxin in your body: My physio tells me that the levels rise at the beginning of first tri, then drop off a little before second tri, then at the start of second tri they go way up again, but then settle right back down shortly after until right up to the time of the birth... But then again, it might not just be Relaxin causing the problems, and we'll all be getting bigger soon enough, so it may still cause you some grief
If it's really bad, ask your midwife or GP to refer you to a physio for some help. If it is particularly bad at night, try sleeping with a nice fat pillow between your thighs, or if you have one, cuddle up to a long tubular pillow with your top leg "hooked" over it. I find this helps some.
My tea-burns have settled down now, thank goodness, my legs and bump were red and sensitive last night but they're much better now, just a bit sensitive to clothes. Ouch!!
