Strength?

[Paxton]

I swear since getting pregnant, I've lost almost all of my arm strength. I can't open the cap off a new bottle of juice, I gotta get DH to do it for me cause it hurts my hands, and leaves little red marks...

Anybody else like this?

Weird! My right deltoid has lost all its strength. I keep lifting weights with it - but it's harder to do every day tasks with it!

lol! This is the case with me, though i've never had much upper body strength.

It's a tad better now than in first tri. Even before I found out I was pregnant, it just felt like everything was 10 lb heavier than it really is.

But yeh, now I can't open lids either because it hurts my skin or wrist. And it makes me pant in out of breath ways. I used to blame it on the fact that I'm a lefty and lids are made for right handed people, but now it's all baby. lol!

Same here but I think thats down to the fact I haven't been allowed to lift anything since I found out I was pregnant lol!

Although I did manage to open a jar the other day but it took a while, it was being stubborn
