achy / feeling a bit flu like

Ugh - don't think that I am getting sick but I feel like the flu has taken over my joints! I am so achy the last few days. I forgot to mention it to the OB yesterday. My elbows, shoulders and wrists well not to mention lower back and knees are all just so achy. I have just been brushing it off as swelling or the extra weight - any ideas though ladies?

Thanks!

No ideas...I rely on you guys to answer all my questions. LOL

Just want to say, hope you feel better soon. You're too sweet to feel cruddy!!

Good luck!

Thanks - you are too kind.

I don't let it get me down - just wondering why. I do think that a warm bath with some epsom salts or oatmeal is in store for this Momma tonight.

I notice it more when I am tired or have had a bad/stressful day, which seems to keep happening. Pretty much every day I can say, "I don't feel well." I bru**** off as being nearly 33 weeks with twins though- I already am the size of a full term mama, so from here on out I imagine it will get worse! Hopefully the bath does it for you. I can't even get in the bath anymore! LOL!!

All your joints........relaxing, stretching ligaments. Your body is getting ready my friend.....for labor!

Although you could be getting ready TO get sick, but I'd bet on hunch number 1. Or you could be overdoing it, but I'm thinking your body is telling you it's getting prepared.

I felt *sick* and achy the few days before I went into labor but because I was 37 weeks I did not think anything of it....could be close!

thanks ladies! I'll definitly bring it up at next week's appt. I already wrote it down lol I hope we are just getting close!

 I am placing my bet that you are going to go real soon!!! Exciting!!!

Thanks Amy!! :)

I'm thinking labor, too.  I mean you just did all that work getting ready for baby... you were pumped and nesting.  Does it feel like your vagina & pelvis have been doing aerobics that your brain isn't aware of?  Rest up as much as possible... maybe take a tylenol for the aches... and buddy up to the heating pad on a low setting.  

Hugs
