12-8-2009 - 34w hospital checkup/leg cramps and sore fingers

My mood while writing this blog:
sore and tired

Hi ladies,

Hope your all feeling well or at least better than i am. I had an awful night last night with severe leg cramps.. they seem to be getting worse!! Had them in both legs last night and each time i got up to go loo, which was 5 times, it made the cramps worse.. My legs are sooooooooooo sore this morning!!! I had my 34w check up on Monday and had another growth scan done.. Eden is measuring at 3 weeks ahead at 37 weeks.. and is weighing about 6lb 12oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's gonna be a big un!!! Have excess fluid around her also but sonographer said its not too much that they need to worry...I mentioned about having numb and tingly fingers and was told i also have Carpel Tunnel Syndrome!! Midwife said its all to do with the extra fluid im carrying so will go once Eden is born, told me to take pregnacare vitamins to help the leg cramps, but i cant see anything helping those as they're so severe! I asked about them maybe inducing me @ 38 weeks as the SPD is getting really sore now, is getting unbearable and the fact my fingers are so numb it hurts using the crutches, but was told no!! I have to put up with the pain!!! I know its only 6 weeks till she's due but its getting me down now that im in so much pain. I seem to have EVERY condition going with this pregnancy. I know it'll be worth it once Eden is here but everyday is getting worse for me..
Sorry to have moaned on and on, just having a tough day with the leg pains etc etc, i needed to vent and here seemed the best place as you all understand what im going thru....

Fingers crossed the next few weeks fffffffffllllllllyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds exactly like my pregnancy with my son. I had exactly the same problems--the SPD, swelling, and carpal tunnel. I really feel for you. You're almost there and then the pain will all fade away. Poor thing, I'm so sorry!

know how you feel I dont have spd but iam in pain with my back and my skin at the top of my bump feels like its being sliced open. doesnt it annoy you though when people say ahh youve only 6wks left, but your right 6 wks of being in pain is bloody crap especially when youve got 3 kids like me too, surely you'd think they would induce you especially with the baby being big, cause by the time your 38wks she'll probably be over 9and a half pound. keep pestering them, I would.xx

I have that carpal tunnel syndrome too! I have to wear wrist splints to sleep at night. They work wonders !!!! They aren't that expensive....u should check em out.

Aww. I hope things get better for you! you can always do the things at home to try to put yourself in labor if they don't want to induce you :)

Awwww. Sounds like you're having a rough time. I always complain in the latter half of the day. :-) Around that time I can barely walk and start to wonder if I should go to the hospital. I know they'd just send me home though. :-) Do you feel like if someone could just give you an exact date on when the baby would be here that you could bare through it all? :-)
