36 weeks and uncomfortable (TMI?)

[Anonymous]

OYE! I can't sit for more than 10 or 15 minutes without my bottom hurting. I've only gained 16 lbs -even though I look and feel like a house- so I can't blame huge excess weight, but OH MY. The kid's been carrying very low most of the pregnancy, but it's gotten more uncomfortable lately. Anyway, any suggestions on the "can't sit for long periods" since I'm stuck at a computer all day?

would sitting on a doughnut possibly help? sorry you feel so rotten.

I'm pregnant with my second and wow, it hurts a lot more than the first one! To alleviate the butt pain, I've taken to sitting on one of those foam garden supply kneeler type things. (I have a clean on that I kneel on in the bathroom when giving #1 a bath!) I started just tossing in on the closed toilet seat, which is where I sit in our tiny bathroom while he plays in the tub, brushes his teeth, etc, but then it migrated downstairs to the desk chair and now I just cart it all around. Or you could try sitting on a feather pillow. . . .

Hope you feel better!

Is this because of hemorrhoids? I'm sorry. 16 pounds! I wish I were so lucky...

Hang in there! I'm at 35, and though my bottom doesn't hurt when I sit, walking around sure does.....I feel like I've been riding horses all night!
