For the past month I'd say, my left sciatic nerve has been killing me. Well the baby finally turned so the head was down and that seemed to relieve some of the pain, until today that is. Now it's worse than ever. I took the kids over to the park and thought I would watch them from the car so I could listen to talk radio....Bad Idea. Auttumn decided that it would be fun to hang from a bar that was at least 5 ft. high. I jumped out of the car and ran to her.....Another bad idea but necessary. My first step I just about fell on my face but quickly recovered only to get to her right before she fell. Which if she had fallen she surely would have broken her leg. But now I can not sit down with out excruciating pain down my left leg. So for now I'm standing, yeah for me.

Oh Amy!!! I FEEL your pain! With my last pregnancy my sciatic nerve killed me for the entire last month! There were times that I would collapse and have to crawl (all the while crying) to get from the couch to anywhere in the house! I honestly thought that I was going to die! It hurt to sit, stand, walk, and crawl.
The only thing that remotely helped was Chris arranging for me to have a pregnancy massage, that did wonders! I am so so sorry that you are hurting...thanks for reminding me why I won't be having any more children.
Amy, I am so sorry to hear that! First let me say good save on Auttumn, but man at the cost of your comfort until you have that sweet little baby boy! I suggest lying on your side and having Colby pull you left leg or try and cross it over to stretch it, yah I realize your 9 months prego, but give it a try, good luck!
I have been there and can totally feel for you.My last pregnancy with my twins was beyond painful. I think I slept in the recliner the last trimester...luckily I delivered at 36 weeks. How much longer do you have? I would love to have your email address. Mine is: kellychristensen1@msn.com
Take care and I'll be praying for you.
Amy- i had that with all of my children but especially bad with Garrett. So bad, in fact, I lost strength in my leg several times and fell down. The crazy thing is that it started hurting when i was only 2 months along! It really never went away, though. To this day I still have Sciatic flare-ups when ever I exercise hard, sit for a long time or clean like a mad woman. I am sorry you are dealing with this- it's awful!!!
Amy, I too feel your pain. When Jen was pregnant with the girls MY sciatic nerve flared up. It was AWFUL! (tee, hee)
If anyone can sell over 100 Sally Foster items, it's Savannah! I love that girl's drive, determination and FOCUS! Too bad she's still in school, I'd offer her a job :)
Bummer for you! I'm sorry. That sounds so terrible. (Hopefully, I don't have any troubles with it!) It seems like we haven't seen you guys in forever, but atleast you're blogging so I can see what you're up to.
Thanks for all your sympathy pain....it should be over in about a week so that brings me some kind of comfort. As for you Kathy....you're too funny! You nerd:)
My poor Amy! When I was pregnant w/ Mimi, my nerve hurt like this for FOUR MONTHS. I was in tears every day. I'll be thinking of you, friend.
Wow! Luckily I've never had to feel pain like that before, but it sounds miserable!!! Maybe you'll go into labor today. Are you ready?!!?!??!
Amy- I will reply to your message you left on my blog about Dallin since people from Santaquin don't read your blog. Yes... I wish we lived closer to but with the market right now our fate is sealed a bit. We will be here for awhile more. Conner is invited here anytime he wants. We love having him and i know that my boys would love it!! Good luck with the baby!
Hey you, I just read your so sweet comment on my blog and wanted to tell you thank you so much. That really means a lot that you think that. I have to say I am lucky to have Jake, but it's cute to think that people see that with us. I appreciate you saying that. Hope you have a good day.
