Not my imagination

Why do pregnant women waddle? Hi my name is Jennifer I am 36 weeks and 6 days and I started waddling a couple of days ago. But why is that? Here is what whattoexpect.com has to say about it:

Those persistent pregnancy hormones cause the connective tissue in your body to soften and loosen. The downside to all this joint flexibility (besides the resemblance you now bear to your feathered friends down south) is discomfort in your pelvis and hip. Add the pressure from your baby's head (burrowing deeper and deeper into your pelvis now) and your heavier uterus weighing you down, and it's no wonder it's a pain to walk around these days.


So I am relieved to know it is not in my imagination
