Pregnancy pains

Tweet

Our DD is 5 months old. She was born in May. While I was pregnant, my back would not quit hurting. The only way I could get any relief was get into a pool and just float. Lucky for me, my husband is a member of the local gym here and they have an indoor lap pool. I joined so I could just float for a bit which took the weight off my back and helped me out greatly. I also looked like a bloated whale, but I didn't care. I was pregnant and I hurt! My feet also were a bit swollen, but not nearly as bad as my hands. For the last 3 months of my pregnancy, I couldn't wear my wedding band. I had to put it on my necklace as my fingers were too swollen to wear it. My DH was very good at rubbing my feet when they hurt and he even painted my toenails right before our DD was born. What sort of pains did you experience when you were pregnant? Feet aches? Back aches? Did your husband/boyfriend/significant other offer to help you out any with massages or anything?
