Hana,

I've been there, done that. It is a helpless feeling to be pregnant and have to be carried on and off the toilet! I had to resort to ibuprophen. The risk of bleeding is increased with nsaids, so the last month I only used tylenol for pain. The fourth month I had bronchitis and my chest hurt so badly from all the coughing that my OB. put me on vicodin along with the antibiotic. She felt that it was necessary to have something for pain and that these were reasonable choices. Overall my pregnancies were pretty good as far as the A.S. is concerned. My first two deliveries were natural. The first was a slow labor and the second very fast. My third turned breech two weeks before her due date. They tried to turn her and she got stuck so we opted for a c-section that night. I wasn't diagnosed properly until a few months after my third child was born. At that time my s.i. joints were completely fused so I'm thankful she was a c-section. God took care of what could have been a bad situation.

Hang in there, it is all so worth going through the discomfort.

God bless you and yours,

Kirst
