My Pregnancy Progress

Week 21
On 29th August week 21 my little baby started giving me proper punches and kicks inside my belly. Even my husband could feel it which was nice to share.

Over the past few weeks I have been getting pains in my left leg when I walk or stand for too long but it took a turn for the worse this week my bum and thigh had shooting pains and the aching was horrible and now that keeps happening, I found it hard to walk the other night. I read that it could be sciatica, oh what joy's this pregnancy is bringing me, people keep telling me that it can get very painful. 

I'm also finding it hard to breathe and not just at night, I'm feeling so heavy and the pressure is just so uncomfortable. 


I'm worried that if I'm feeling so uncomfortable now how will I be in a couple of months. I am now just into week 22 so only 18 more weeks to go.

Has anyone else had sciatica? If so what did you do to make it easier to cope with?

  1. Hope it eases for you, I must say you look more that 22 weeks, just the one??

  2. I know I'm much bigger than in my first pregnancy.

    Scans only show one baby but it crossed my mind at the beginning as my husband has twins in his family.
    I've heard you can be bigger in 2nd pregnancies but I guess it didn't help as I didn't lose all my baby weight the first time round.
