Please help- in horrible pain

[boobiepiebaby]

I am 41 wks 2 days. My dr. is very induction happy and I don't want to call him.

Last night I jogged/ran about 200 ft from my grandmothers front door to my backdoor (it was wet, middle of the night, scary) and I felt my baby move down lower but he's not in the center. It feels like he's crooked (which I had been having a lot of pain in my thigh from where he's been laying for weeks) and now he is pressing so hard on my thigh that I can hardly crawl into bed, put on a pair of pants, walk etc without being in horrible pain. I'm in so much pain I'm walking VERY slow and with a limp.
I've tried pelvic rocking, knee chest position and even crawling around my living room and I can't get the baby off that spot. (He's still kicking and such)
Has anyone had something like this happen? Do you know what I can do to fix it?

I would call; you do want to make sure that everything is all right. I can't imagine they'd just induce--I'm sure it would involve an NST.

I would try to find a chiropractor and/or acupuncturist, though. Here's a place to look for a chiropractor: http://icpa4kids.com/index.php. For pregnancy, look for someone who is Webster-certified. They are well-versed in gentle manipulations of pregnant women.

Good luck!

Yes, like pp said, call a chiro dealing with webster technique asap.
No need for you to be in this much pain Mama.

I'm so sorry you are in pain! Definitely call with your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong.

I agree - call if you haven't already. You could go for a u/s and nst and still refuse induction. Have you tried anything on spinningbabies.com? Considering the pain you're in, I would make sure everything's okay first, with you and babe, then think about trying some inversions (with help). You never know, there might be a reason why the baby is insisting on that position - knowing that would help you figure out how to proceed.

Keep us posted - I'll be thinking of you and sending healthy, pain-free, easy-birth vibes to you and your baby!!
