I am due to have my third baby the end of november. It hurts to stand up (especially at the end of the day) and the stairs kill me. It isn't a pressure, but rather like my bones are brused. Has anybody else experienced this? I have a doctors appointment soon, but I wanted to know if anybody other than her knows about this. I don't remember it with my first two.

I had those same pains. The more babies you have the more aches and pains you have during pregnancy.

How far apart are you children? Mine are all two years apart, and with my fourth I felt like that. It hurt to stand, it hurt to walk etc... I could barely lift my legs to walk at times. It could be the way the baby is positioned. It could also be, that if your kids are as close together as mine, that your body is worn out and is telling you that you should hold off before doing this again. The end of the day will be worst after you have been active all day. Also, if you have a large child, as did I (10 pounds each) then its going to add stress, especially now, towards the end of your pregnancy. Get some rest, take some time for yourself and relax. A warm (not hot) bubble bath usually does the trick. Relax and watch a couple of movies, make someone else cater to you for a while. It is nice and it helps with the strain on your body. But dont hesitate to call your doctor even if your appointment is soon if rest doesnt help. Its better to be safe then sorry.

People often say that we don't remember what pregnancy and child birth feel like, or we wouldn't ever do it again!
Seriously though, there are a few possible reasons for your pain:
1. Obviously, you are older now than when you had your other two children. You may also have been in better physical condition in your previous pregnancies. Strong muscles do not ache as easily as weaker ones.
2. The baby you are carrying now may be heavier than your other two were, thus putting a greater strain on your body in general. You may also have gained more weight with this baby then you did before?
3. You may have developed arthritis. This can cause a deep feeling sort of pain so that it doesn't feel like muscle pain, but deeper.
Try taking warm baths to help soothe your achey body and see if your partner (hopefully you have some help!) can give you a gentle rub down. I hope you feel better!

I'm going through that now at 29 weeks. I talked to the Dr., and apparently your pubic bone will hurt from the pressure of the baby, and the other aches are from the extra weight. I dont remember this either, but I sure cant wait for it to be over!

If you're standing on your feet all day it's probably a combination of the pressure on your feet due to your new weight and edema (swelling) Ask your doctor for a note for work that allows you to rest your feet for about 10-15 every hour or so. Also when you get home make sure to elevate your feet to reduce swelling.

I am assuming the pain is in your lower back, pelvis and hips. Some women have this pain as our bones seperate and relax in preparation for birth. I have had it with both pregnancies. My doctor told me it usually hurts longer with each successive pregnancy because your body gets good at relaxing and letting the bones move. It is possible you had only slight pain with your first two, not enough to really register a memory.

I was like that with my second baby.. It was just from the extra weight. Although Im not sure if what your experiencing is what I was, but I wouldnt worry too much. If you say it hurts more at the end of the day then its probably just because of the weight and the way the baby is laying inside you... :)

i just had my fourth baby and the last three has been that way the Doctor said that its the baby getting bigger and your hips are spreading out. it just seems to get harder with each pregnancy. my youngest is six weeks old and i still hurt from time to time i have found that if you take a pillow and put it between your legs it really helps your back and everything. i know what your going threw.

rest rest and more rest! You are probably so big by now that there isn't any room for the baby to rest on but your bones. Stay off your feet for as long as possible and you shouldn't be so sore!
