Pressure

[EbonyEyez1]

Good afternoon ladies, I've been very worried these last couple of days. Or should I say week. I've been experiencing alot of pressure and slight pain in my pelvic really region. Also in my legs, buttocks, and lower back. I'm currently four months along. I really try not to worry. This is my second pregnancy after 19 years. I have been afraid to Tell my doctor because I'm afraid she might say I have to stop working. I feel as If I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I love my jobs, plus they are my only source of income. How can I manage If I have to stop working. I'm confused and feel lonely in my thoughts. Any suggestion?

There's nothing silly about wanting to stay home with your child! Good luck! Your pains sound like they may be due to the relaxin hormone. Or sciatica... massage may help!

Thank u for the feedback. I did just that,  and applied to government agencies that can help when I give birth. Now my only problem is how long to stay home with my baby after he/she is born.  While I'm going to breastfeed,  I don't know how easy it will be. I want to stay home for at least 6 months. But I'm told I'm being silly.

Thank u. I really appreciate the feed back. While the pressure has eased up a tiny bit,  I'm carrying low and the only trouble I have now is sleeping. Its so hard to get really comfortable. And my body pillow feel like it has sunk. I'm trying different ways to sleep good. Again. Thank u so much.

I went through the same thing a few weeks ago. I knew unemployment wasn't going to be helpful so I went to the county and got that ball rolling for when I do have my son. There's a few agencies that is helping.  Good luck

Im currently in the same situation but I was placed on a leave per my doctors orders. I tried unemployment and was denied saying maybe if I went from full time to part time then I could've qualified but I had to do full bed rest so I haven't had income since July....:-(. Ask if you can just get part time work for now, its better to do that then to risk anything with your pregnancy. Good luck and I wish you and baby the best :-)

You could try un employment or some type of government check. Like SSI
