This is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 years and the pain associated with my pelvis is some what unbearable. But this is the most exciting pregnancy yet and the last!!! We are not sure on what we are having so the waiting is the best part. We couldn't find out this time but now i wish that i hadn't found out with the other 2.
