hitting a wall

ok this most like a vent rather than a question but most of you know I was on bedrest since I was 20wks well I have been released off bedrest and now I can't even move without horrible back hip and groin pain. I know I may sound like I am complaining but wth I go all this time without being able to move for fear of an early delivery and now I can barely walk without feeling like hips are breaking and and such. I can even sleep due to the fear of the pain of when I try to move and just at my breaking point right now. I know yhiz is normal things that happen but I just can't deal anymore. with any of this. I have tried talking to my docabout all of this and she laughs it off but I am so not finding any of it funny. I am jus wishing for things to happen that way I can stop being in horrible pain. on a side note to add to all of this my job terminated me this past Friday due me being on medical leave. talk about when it rains it pours. well thanks to anyone who reads my crazy sounding rant

Wow!  What idiots.  They'd have been a lot smarter to label it as a lay off versus a termination.  I hope you get them!!  Good luck on that and let us know how it plays out.

thanks I am consulting a lawyer now they believe. that I have a strong case due to my employer trying to use to forms of leaves at once I am covered under Fmla up to 12 wks then I should have an additional 8 wks required to be given seperately on Massachusetts state law also they are in violation of the pregnancy related disability act which would granted up to 26 wks of leave combine from all the forms. of medical leave. so we shall see they are also making me wait to get unemployment the full eight wks because my job worded it as a termination rather than a lay off like I was told they were going to do.
as far as the pain I went to my dr yesterday and they said she is sitting really low and on my nerves causing the pain I am going back to the dr on Tuesday and they are going to do another u/s and cervical check and then talk about giving me an induction date cause they aren't letting me go past my due date so we shall see. I have been having cramping on and off so maybe I wont make it that far and I am totally ok with that

I wish I had advice for you on your pain.  I would suspect it's just because your body hasn't had time to get used to all of the changes the way it normally would, due to you being on bedrest.  You haven't been able to exercise or just move naturally because of it.

As for your job....I don't believe they can legally terminate you.  You could sue them.  Check out the Family Leave Act in your state.  It might vary from state to state but there are laws to protect pregnant women from this type of treatment.

I am so sorry you are going through all of this.

I wish I could but my job just let me go and with. that went my health insurance which adds a whole list of stress which can't be helping matters any either. I have had this back pain before for it just really feels like a real slap in the face because its hindering me from getting anything done that I have had to wait to do. thanks for the info thought hopefully I will get the medical aid from thw state and maybe they will cover it for me

I think that you should try going to a chiropractor .. I have had a lot of back and hip pain in pregnancy and it helps a lot ... I bet from being on bedrest your hips and back are probably out of line.
