My back and feet.... When did I get so huge?

Question

My feet have recently become increasingly swollen and painful and my back hurts terribly. I'm a full time nurse and I'm on my feet 12+ hours a day. I've tried new shoes, posture positioning, yoga, etc... I have no idea what else to do?! Also, I've gotten ENORMOUS in the last week. Started at 118lb and now 126. I can't even bend down without baby Dominic in the way!!!!

Answer

126 lbs enormous?! You make me giggle.

Answer

Did you get some compression socks? I am a nurse as well and I had to wear them all through my last pregnancy. I had crazy edema. I didn't get the fancy ones, just OTC ones from shoppers drugmart.

Answer

OMG I went from 106 to 128 so far and I'm 21 weeks! It's a huge difference for my body. Everything hurts and feels so strained. I just have learned to take as many breaks as I'm able to. I am also a nurse but in a doctors office so it's a little easier to arrange for things to be more comfortable.

Answer

Did you mention it to your doc? Be aware of eclampsia!
