what is this pain?
Yesterday we went to do our maternity photos because we are a family of procrastinators lol We did them outside at a birding center and did quite a bit of walking, and I carried my 2 year old about half of the time. I was fine the entire shoot, but when I got home holy crap I could barely walk! And it wasn't a sore like feeling from walking, it was a sharp pain in my pelvis and hips. I couldn't even lift my legs to get into bed and my husband had to help me and I cried because it hurt so bad (and I had an unmedicated birth with back labor with my first, so I'm no stranger to pain!). He had to help me turn over too.
I took some Tylenol and went to bed. Didn't wake up too often. This morning, same pain. I took more Tylenol and a shower and it didn't really help. The pain is still in my pelvis, like someone is pushing it apart and my hips and back hurt immensely.
Did I just overdo it and need to take it easy for a few days? Did my baby drop and this is just what that feels like (first never dropped)? Should I call the midwife and ask her about it? I just had my 38 week appointment so my next appointment isn't until Monday.
