idk what to do!

I'm seriously in tthe worst pain everyday. I'm not sure what it is though, its the left side of my groin. I can't put my pants on by myself anymore, i can't lift my left leg higher that five or six inches of the ground. Some days I'll start out with it not hurting to bad but always always by afternoon I'm in tears because it hurts so bad. I'm 34 weeks with my second child. This has been going in for 3-4 months now. I've brought it up to my doctor seriously at EVERY appointment, all he says is well you're pregnant and last time he checked my fundal height and said "no wonder, you're measuring 3 weeks ahead, she's a big baby." but still no suggestions on how to ease the pain. So anybody? I can't handle this anymore, it's hurts so bad! :( :(

I'll have to ask my doctor about those. I'm all for anything that will help at this point. It's frustrating though cos he just keeps blowing me off about it like it's not a big deal when it's a huge deal to me that i can't do anything that i used to do and I'm always so cranky with my four yo because of the pain and i can't do things with her anymore. I feel awful cos i rely in bf for waaay to much now that i should be able to do myself

yep! Mine is the same! if you qualify for medicaid, you can have your OB write you a prescription for a cradle and you actually have to go to a prosthetic doctor because they fit it especially for your pelvis. It's literally a lifesaver, because before I could hardly even walk. If you don't qualify for medicaid, you can still get them offline, or in maternity stores. they range from about $20-100, but the $20 ones are designed the same as the more expensive ones.

No i haven't, where do you get them? And that's how i am too. It's not necessarily my legs though. I have a hard time explaining it! It's the left side of my vag lol it feels like it's being ripped from my leg or I'm walking around with a knife stuck in me. Is yours the same? It's awful. By 6 I'm where I'm gonna be for the rest of the night now because it hurts to do anything at all

me too, but instead of it just being one leg, its both but mine comes from my pelvic girdle pain. Have you tried a maternity cradle? It takes pressure from the baby off of your pelvis, making it easier to move your lower half. But I completely understand how you feel, people actually have to help me move at the end of the day now because my upper legs hurt so bad :(
