Hello everyone my name is Kayla.I am having a little girl around May the sixteenth.I am so very excited and so is my husband.I am a step-mother of three boys.My husband raised his ex-wives daughter so I guess you could say I have a step-daughter as well.This is my husbands first biological daughter so I think he is more excited than I am.I am getting a little nerves because it is getting closer and closer.Everyone might think I am crazy but I do not want the epidural.I want to feel everything.I just think it will be cool to feel it all and not miss anything.The more I think about it the more my nerves get raddled.I can not wait to hold my baby girl in my arms and love on her.Now I have a question for everyone I am having really bad pain in my lower back and when I talk to my doctor about it she tells me it MariaDawn putting pressure on a nerve in my lower back.So my question is does anyone else have this problem?Well I guess that is all I have to say so please reply someone.This is my first time on this sight..
Kayla!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome! Hi I'm Jessica, and I am 30w 5d pregnant with a little girl named Reyna Adrielle. I have the sciatica problem on top of the regular ole achey back. The sciatic nerve causes excruciating, shooting pain in my lower back that makes standing up almost impossible and makes my leg go weak. It's very uncomfortable to say the least! Luckily, I get from massages from a liscensed massage therapist and they work wonders(for about a week then I'm calling for another!). I've also found that a heating pad relieves alot of backache too.
