Pain!

Just so everyone knows, I have had pain since about 8 weeks pregnant. What kind of pain you ask? Well I call it crotch pain and I know there is a real name for it but I don't want to look it up right now. Basically it hurts to walk or if I put all my weight on one leg especially the right one and to shift my legs while I am laying down. For some reason it doesn't hurt to go up and down stairs which is really good because I have to go up and down a lot of stairs at work and at home.

I had this same pain when I was pregnant with Elena but it didn't start until I was really getting big and right now I am barely showing and the pain is so much worse than last time. I talked to my doc about it and he thought it was really strange that it has started so early. He suggested light exercise like swimming and stretching. I would like to do the swimming and there is an indoor swimming pool at Comfort Inn but I need to find out how much they charge. The doc also said that if those things don't help that he might have to send me to physical therapy. I don't think he really understand where it hurts and it is really hard to explain.

I am really worried that it will just get worse and worse, then what? How will I do my everyday things? Maybe I will have to go to work in a wheel chair or something!
