[quote=Anonymous]33, almost 34 weeks and I have been feeling pretty great up until the last 2 weeks. My back has hurt off and on, but that was it. It's like a switch went off and I am so huge and uncomfortable. My back hurts all the time- it's gotten to the point where even sitting on the couch, it hurts and is hard to get comfortable. My hands are so swollen, my knuckles ache so bad and I wake up at night with my fingertips on fire. I told my dr weeks ago about the tingling in my hands and she prescribed braces for me, which I wear, but I don't know if they do anything, and now my knuckles and fingers are so swollen, that's almost worse than the burning. My feet are really swollen and the skin feels bruised. Sleep is really difficult- I sleep propped up on my side, but at least a couple of times a night I wake up with my hands and fingers burning. Is there anything I can do? My dr is very hands off and just prescribed the braces at last visit but I am so uncomfortable with the hand and back pain I really don't think I can make it to 40 weeks. When people see me in a store or something and ask my due date, they say "you'll never make it"! Part of me is so done with this already, but seeing as we have nothing in the nursery and are still deciding on name, I hope I make it! Are there any tips you experienced preggers can give me? I was so miserable today and the last few days, I really need some relief.[/quote]
