I wanted to just kinda survey with you ladies who are over 5 months how comfortable they are at this stage of their pregnancy....i am pretty much in constant discomfort...i have lower back pain, round ligament pain, with bouts of sharp abdominal pain thrown in that last for abt 10-15 seconds each. I have been in the dr's office 3-4 times over these issues...it always seems like everything's fine with the baby...so nothing to worry there..(not tht it has stopped me frm worrying). But i am still never comfortable, if i go out for shopping for instance ..if i am on my feet for over 2 hrs, by that time, i am getting bad abdominal discomfort, back pain etc, and the only thing that helps me is laying down. Even if i'm just at home sitting for more than 30 mins in one place is practically impossible, i have to get up and move about or lay down. Even laying down isn't the most comfortable for me, although it is better than walking, standing or sitting. I hope i don't come across as a whiner, or that i am not grateful to be blessed with this baby, becoz i am completely grateful, but my concern is more whether this is normal, than that i am not comfortable, if other's are having similar issues, i'll know that this is within the acceptable range...please help, and sorry if this was long.
