Hehehe, thats funny about the heels!!! I do agree though, it is worse when I have no shoes on, and I always have a very slight heel on my shoes (like a low wedge really) cos I find it uncomfortable standing at work all day in flat flat shoes (I am a hairdresser, I just work two days a week, but do 12 hour days, so my legs are pretty sore by the end of the day!)
I will just have to see how I go I guess. We have a massage therapist at work (we have 2 actually) so might see if there is anything they can do.
Also Nurofen Gel rubbed in works well but you can't use it in the 1st or 3rd trimesters, I'm pretty sure. I have been using it, but very, very infrequently.
You poor thing. I had it horrible with P and already have it this time! That tell tale pain from hip down through the bum.
Are your having trouble sleeping becuase of it too? Lots of pillows around you, supporting your back, in between your knees and under your baby belly (if you have one at 24 weeks!)...I found that helped too...used every pillow in the house!
Hot water also good...but in this weather (over 39 here today), the last thing everyone wants is heat packs and hot water!
Thanks for all the advice guys, I think Bubs has moved into a better position, and it has eased for the moment. Was getting worried there for a while that carrying DS (He is 20 mths old now, and was 11pds when born) had damaged muscles & nerves etc, but hopefully not!
