Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, I've been noticing as of late this small, sharp pain in my lower back on the right side where my hip is. [Okay, it probably is my hip, but..you know]. I know that there is going to be lower back pain in pregnancy. For some reason, I don't if this is necessarily pregnancy realated so I even debating on where I should post this.

I have scoliosis, so it might just be that. I have a five degree curve in my spine, and my hips are off set by about five millimeters from the last measurement I got in February, the right side being the higher hip. Being pregnant may have just aggravated it, I don't know, but I do plan on asking my doctor at my next check-up on Tuesday. Anyway, its a sharp pain in my lower back, like I said, and it sometimes make it hard to walk as it almost stiffens my leg. It simply doesn't go away at all. Its always there, just varying in intensity. I'm only fourteen weeks pregnant, but could it be possible for the baby to already be laying on a nerve?

Has anyone who is/was pregnant had this problem?

I bet you all were hoping for one of those posts that gives good news today.

Well, sorry. I couldn't go to the doctor. I found out that my medicade didn't last until May 31st like they told me, so I didn't go. I don't have that kind of money to pay for that. I don't have money at all.

So, I'm trying to apply to get it back while finding a free clinic until then. But I did find one and I have an appointment for Monday. I did, however, end up calling the nurse at my OB's office to ask about it anyway. She said she'd ask the doctor what he thought anyway, even though they can't do anything without seeing me.

Thank you, America, for really caring about your people because those of us who do not work because they can't whose husbands make minimum wage do not deserve the health insurance for low income families because we make too much money and still can't afford health care while those who bring in more than us can get it. You're fantanstic!
