Ive been pretty healthy through this pregnancy (my 1st) and ive done remarkably well (so i am told by everyone) to get to 33 weeks without any real problems / niggles.
I am still working full time and have been driving round the UK for work, last meeting was last week and i only have 2 weeks left now of working at home till i finish. I live on a 4th floor flat with no lift so walking up 8 flights of stairs a few times per day is normal, and something ive been doing throughout.
BUT all of a sudden i can make 2 flights only before i need to sit and rest for a few seconds.
Yesterday my car was in the garage and i had to walk back home the half a mile or so and i was in absolute agony and it took me half an hour
I have 2 pain sites that are REALLY causing me agony at the moment when walking ....
* The first pain is a bad aching in my lower back, left hand side, top of left buttock but deep inside - when i walk i can hear it crack and crunch in my neck and it shoots pains down my left hand thigh and leg. Sitting down relieves it for a few minutes before it starts up again.
* The 2nd pain is in what i think is my pubic bone, through my pubic area to the middle i think, like a stabbing pain, its horrid and effects me insofar as i have trouble lifting my legs into the car, into bed, up stairs etc and when turning over in bed - it is fine when sitting still and sitting on by gym ball helps it aswell??
What could it be and why would it suddenly become bad in the past week or so ?
I feel like a cripple and i ended up sobbing yesterday as i feel useless
any of you kind ladies shed some light on this ?

i know it hurts but try n stay active with walking as much as you can manage - birthing ball you may find good relief for the pains in your pelvis and good to get baby into position - also helps take pressure off ya fanjita 
maybe do some swimming ? i find sitting with back straight and palms of feet together really comfortable - you can support your knees with cushions - just helps everything to stretch n relax a bit - loadsa tlc n big hugs Sarah x x x x
