    HELP
    
    I am 21 weeks pregnant with my third child and for the last few day I
    have been having a lot of pain from Round Ligament stretching.
    I spoke to the doctor yesterday and he advised taking 2 parasetamol
    (sp?) morning and evening.
    
    Problem 1. it does not work 
    Problem 2. I dont like to keep taking pain killers during pregancy
    
    In the morning the pain is slight but by lunchtime and afternoons it is
    extreemly painfull to stand up and walk about.
    
    Has anyone any suggestions or hints I did not have any of this with the
    last 2 pregancies

|     Tracey,
    
    I went to a chiropractor for my last two pregnancies.  It really did
    help, especially during the last few weeks.  it seems that the
    ligaments stretch more and faster with each subsequent pregnancy.  I
    know with number three I didn't walk the way I had been after 25 weeks
    and part of that was the ligament stretching.

|     I agree with you, I didn't like taking a lot of junk during my
    pregnancies, either.  Are you getting enough rest (if not actual
    sleep, can you at least put your feet up a couple of times a day)?
    
    OK, OK, OK, everyone can stop laughing now!
