In so much pain, don't know what to do!

[cgoodwin]

I started my pregnancy weighing about 110. Now I'm down below 95 at 21 weeks. I am really concerned about the weight loss, and I'm drinking protein shakes and trying to put some weight back on. But my problem right now is that I have lost all fat to protect my body when I am sitting or laying down, and it hurts so bad. I can't sit for very long at all, and trying to sleep is even worse. Has anyone had this problem? Is there any medication I can't take to make the pain go away? Tylenol does nothing at all for me.

I usually drink ensure. The pre stems make me nauseous, but so does everything. Heating pads don't really help. The only relief I have found is taking a hot shower. It is really exhausting to hurt like this.

Did you tell your doctor you were drinking protein shakes? Most of them are actually geared to helping you lose weight.  

Please talk to your doctor about this.  Ensure nutritional shakes are great for you,  and would probably add calories.

Also,  eating extra good nutritional food is good.  Lots of meats,  eggs,  milk,  whole grain breads,  fruits and vegetables.

Specifically,  what protein shake are you on?

Is it the prenatals making you feel nautious? Something else you're eating?
I do agree with ladybug though my bones and joints always hurt too and I'm not 95 pounds!

I weigh alot more then you and my bones hurst especially my hips when im laying down, have you tried sleeping with a pillow between your legs or heating pad?

[cgoodwin]

I am. And extra iron too

[MamacitaTP]

Are you taking your prenatal vitamins?

I am very nauseous and my bones hurt so much. Everyone I try to explain this to says, oh that's not possible. But if you look at my arms and my legs, you can see every bone and ligament. I know that's not normal

Are u feeling like u have to vomit or does your bones hurt ? Your baby is taking alot of nutrients from you so u have to take vitamins somehow...I have only gained like 7 pounds and im 22 weeks and 1 day and im 112...but find another doctor and address this issue

I asked my doctor last time I saw him and he told me not to worry. He is kind of a terrible doctor, but I get a new one as soon as I move. I am supposed to be on modified bed rest, but I can't even sit for ten minutes without being in so much pain I want to cry

I would talk to your doctor or midwife about this.
