vent..but advice would be great

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I'm so miserable. I can barely walk. I'm bent over like a huntch back. My hips and pelvis bones are killing me. And with all that I work 4 days a week 8 hours a day. I can hardly make it. I would love to be off work now but we can't afford our bills without my income too. I get maternity leave when baby comes but I don't know how I can keep going now. I cry every day cuz I'm in so much pain and tylenol doesn't help. I just want to be able to walk and be able to stand up straight. I'm a cashier so I am standing and sitting all day and tonight I was huntched over a cart cleaning up the store all night. Advice would be nice or is anyone going through the same?

Thank you for the kind words. It helps a lot knowing that I'm not the only one feeling like this. Baths do work wonders for me and I have a belt that also helps. I know I can make it but just to have people telling me I can helps a lot more. All this pain is worth it though. I can't wait to meet my daughter. I feel like I'm hurting her when I'm all huntched over and can barely walk

I went through the same thing with my second.  Felt as though my hips were ripping from my body.  I couldn't walk upstairs...couldn't sleep...cried all the time as I was in so much pain.  I'm 31w3d right now and I'm getting close to experiencing the same with this one.  I have my good and bad days.  Have a bath...I find it helps a bit.  You can also purchase support belts to provide more support for your hips and back.  I have heard that they work wonders.  May to take the pain fully but can provide some relief.  You don't have much longer.  You can do it!  I told myself that I would never put myself through that pain again but........we just felt as though our family was not complete.  Now with #3 on the way......we will be complete.  I wish you all the best!
