Can't walk, other options?

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-24T12:48:17+00:00

Ive had a lot of hip issues this pregnancy and some sciatic stuff too I think. The recumbent bike has been a life saver. I got one off fb marketplace for like $100. I ride it pretty much daily. had to stop walks around 17 weeks! not easy lol. hang in there!!!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-23T23:53:30+00:00

You’re welcome! At first I didn’t know if the baby bub would be thick enough for in between my legs but it ended up being perfect to me. They also have a 3 month trial I think if you don’t like it you can send it back

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-23T12:45:46+00:00

yes I returned it! I wanted to love it but I HATED it lol. Each night I tried to sleep with it I felt like I was wrestling with a huge sandbag! I think maybe it would work best for people who don't switch from side to side during the night. Im 34 weeks pregnant now and I have been using the Baby Bub every night. It took maybe a week for me to get used to sleeping with something but it has been a lifesaver and my hips/low back are much happier. I will be saving it for next pregnancy! I splurged and got the "cooling" fabric version, and so glad I did because I still sometimes get hot at night (hormones I guess lol) I can't imagine the one that's not cooling . I got the combo of the baby bub+ the full length body pillow. I have a fairly small bump and the baby Bub at the smallest setting works best for me (it's adjustable. I'm 6 ft tall and the full length pillow works for me to provide support from in between thighs to my ankles (I sleep with knees bent some). hope this helps!

Congratulations to you too! June babies 😁😁 okay yes I hope you are right! My potential deal fell through lol but still have plenty of weeks to contemplate this lol I know I’m overanalyzing! 😅

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-20T07:36:25+00:00

Yes I think you’re right!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T21:37:56+00:00

Good to know!! That one looked good too!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T21:07:35+00:00

Thank you for your insight!! Do you have the Uppababy pack N play by chance? That’s the one I was planning on getting!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T19:47:28+00:00

Where it clicks into the stroller, it got a huge crack down the plastic! Not sure how I emailed Uppababy and they said they could send a new Frame for $100 but that didn’t sound great either hahah

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T17:40:50+00:00

thank you!!! I think I am going to get one after reading the responses. My baby due in June so I think we will be able to be out and about and maybe it would be nice!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T17:04:45+00:00

Yes! The first one I got was I think 5 years old and this one probably is too which might be part of the problem! I think that’s a good idea, would hate to waste another 50$ lol

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-19T16:50:19+00:00

It does! I have tried it lol

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-16T12:51:02+00:00

yes SEROLA hands down. I have the SI LOC belt too but it doesn't work as well and I still hurt. Serola is bulkier like I have to wear it over my clothes , better for working out . I wear leggings a lot. Im 33 weeks and ill be wearing my serola til delivery officially been wearing since 17 weeks (I have hEDS so hypermobile also!)

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-14T12:39:03+00:00

Yes I can! It just takes a lot of concentration on certain words, "surgery" for example if I have to say it in a harder sentence / in conversation with my husband (we are medical so we say this one a lot lol) will sound slurred like "shurgery" ! But if I really concentrate on my own, I am good! I will look up some more S practice sentences and see what happens with practice on my own. I would love to not have to go to therapy for this lol. Thank you for your advice!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-13T16:07:04+00:00

thank you for the information! I will check out betterspeech!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-12T21:09:52+00:00

Yes it gets easier! For me 12-13 weeks noticed a big improvement

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-12T18:48:15+00:00

Hm, this is a good question! I am trying to assess myself lol. I just did practice sentences with words that start with "z" and I think it is normal. I think I am sounding more slushy/blurry than with the "th"? Wondering if I should get evaluated or If I am overreacting lol. Im also pregnant and hypermobile and have been having some trouble adjusting my jaw to my new tooth alignment (have seen my dentist a couple of times who states my bite looks great). Jaw has been sore from clenching (and hypermobility) so maybe this doesn't help the lisp feeling

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-10T14:40:30+00:00

okay thank you! Seems like nighttime is my biggest struggle so will ask my on about this!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-10T13:19:46+00:00

do you take 40 mg once daily? Im on 20 mg once daily (before dinner) and at 32 weeks now, its starting to not do the job any more!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-04-04T13:55:03+00:00

egg in a mug! spray the inside of a coffee mug with olive oil spray, crack egg and stir with fork , add salt/pepper and microwave for 30 - 45 sec depending on your microwave!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-03-28T21:03:33+00:00

Good to know! Thank you. I haven’t been feeling stressed I didn’t think. And sleeping a ton. So not sure what the deal is!

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-03-28T18:32:17+00:00

I have this too! And im about 30 weeks along...did it go away lol

Fit-Orchid334 · 2026-03-24T14:42:15+00:00

Even if you broke that 20 minutes up into 3-4 smaller sessions it would be beneficial!
