To all of you moms out there,
I am a long ways out (three months) from having baby number three, and I can barely walk or bend over. Running is way out of the question. I have gained 15 pounds so far and I have more to go, still. Yuck. I feel like my pelvis is going to snap in two with every movement. Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do? I asked my doctor and guess what was said...

"Well there is this maternity girdle that you can wear around your waist that has straps connected to it which go over your shoulders to hold your stomach up."

Huh, are you kidding me? What kind of contraption is that? I would not last 5 min. with something like that on... I would die of laughter. I long for the days that I used to be able to dash up the stairs while skipping every other step. Ugh. Any advice?

A chiropractor could fix that problem for you I know of a friend that had the same problem when she was pregnant with her fourth and it completely took care of that problem!! My husband is also in Chiropractic school where they work on a bunch of pregnancy issues such as that, ouch hang in there!

I wish I had some great words of wisdom. They left me, so you will have to get them from your mom. Make sure and buy one, put it on and take a picture of it! Then laugh and laugh.

I had the same problem with Jaycie. The doctor said she was carried low during my whole pregnancy. One time I heard a crack (right there in the middle) while crossing my legs. It was scary! Some days I thougt the baby would slip out. I refused the girdle contraption as well, but crazy thing could help?

I would go wit da strap ting! Just look at it like you're wearing suspenders! You could wear it on the outside and turn it into some type of fashion statement.
Or I hear that doing lots of head-stands does the trick! it will push da little tike up more!?
Oh and milk is not that expensive, it's around $7 if ya find it on sale!?

I'm still stuck on the fifteen pound thing... which makes it hard to feel sorry for you.

Just kidding. That's an awful thing to say... I just looked at the other comments. I'm so sorry you're in pain. Being pregnant is the pits.

Every once in a while I think I see you at church like I would in the past, visiting every now and then. We miss you guys!
