Hi archie and others,

Am in 34th week and wanna know if some of u are experiencing this too.

I have been having some pain in my pubic bone from a couple of days. Therez some pain in the region where the hips meet n buttocks too sometimes. Yesterday it was bad, coz I guess coz of lot of walking. But it comes n goes. Like today morning, it was hardly hurting.

But wenever its there, i have a trouble getting up, tosssing n turning over the bed while sleeping or while walking sometimes. I tried some ice packs and it gives me a temporary relief. Could any one tell me whats the reason and what i should do?

Thanks! smr replied. Hi shanthi

Archie would be able to help you better. But let me just tell you what I know. I have been experiencing the same as you do. I used to wonder why at times I get such a pain for no reason. The pain is as if I have fallen down somewhere and there is a sprain.. When I asked my doctor, she said it is quite normal and it is because of the weight. Well all I do for this is there is a pain balm called \";Active Heat\"; (I guess you are in US). Massage with this and pour some hot water, not very hot, and just relax. I am sure you will find a greater relief. This helps me a lot.

For me apart from this pain, I see a lot of blood clots on my thighs. I dont know what to do for that.

Well, when is your due date? I have completed 34 weeks now. So I guess we might have due dates in the same week.

Do you have any idea as what all we should expect now in 34th week. Anything alarming. Because I am alone at home and my husband's office is too far, I at times worry as what I will do if something alarming happens.

Thanks,
KB
