Today I have felt the pains of the last couple weeks of pregnancy. After lunch, I could barely walk or stand without having this shooting pain in my left side of my lower back shooting down to my left leg. I tried to wait it out to see if the pain would subside on its own but it only got worse. I couldnt take a step without the shooting pain. It is an awful feeling.... So I called the Doctor and a nurse called me back explaining that this is not unusual for women in the last couple of weeks. She explained that the baby is growing and the way he/she is positioned is pinching a nerve... I have an appt tomorrow so I will find out if this is something that will go away on its own or if I will have this pain until I have the baby. If that is the case, I will consider myself on maternity leave tomorrow because I cannot walk without being in massive amounts of pain.
I called my mom to ask her about the pain and she explained to me when she was preggers with me, I did the same thing to her and pressed on her spine which made it hard for her to breath and move... Ahhhh... what comes around really does go around. :)
