I was told when i had my 20wk scan that baby was sitting low but boy does she have to sit so low that at times i can not even bend my knees and crouch down to the floor, infact at times i cant bend over at all.
any suggestions on how i can get more comfortable especially since my job involves me having to bend down or crouch down to emtpy catheter bags etc.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

The only suggestion I have is that you 'squat' or crouch, and then stretch out to whatever it is you have to pick up with your arms - IF you can reach it, and don't fall over in the process !
Otherwise, maybe ask someone to help you ? ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

yep it's hard, have you tried kneeling on one knee with the other up - kinda like a lunge? i dunno what else to say to help - Ayja sat really low all the time too.. hence why i ended up having a growth scan at 33 wks cos i was measuring 27wks.. she sat really low all the time. I agree with Jax though - i know that it's not always possible to delegate and get others to help but maybe you can offer to do something for them if they do the things for you that require you to crouch down... good luck ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Thank goodness someone else is having this problem too This is my 3rd and neither of the other 2 sat this low.What really sucks is I pinched a nerve in my back over xmas and now I waddle like I am 9 months and feel like I need the bathroom every 5 minutes Am really trying to enjoy this pregnancy as this is my last but boy its hard And yesterday I went to the midwife and I have protein in my urine already so I have to see my specialist earlier

I hope everything goes alright with your specialist, i know what you mean about going to the loo every 5 mins, still as long as baby is healthy and the pregnancy is going well i am happy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
