Yep I am exactly the same (although I am roughly 6wks behind you both)...I have felt very sore, achy and puffy downstairs for a while now..since at least 24wks. I also have trouble walking and I toddle like a granny hahaha...I have mentioned all of the above to my midwives and all say its normal...so blah...i don't know how to help, sorry! Wish I did!!!
