Is okay not to be able to walk when you are 38 weeks pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain with pregnancy: Pregnancy can be extremely uncomfortable for some women due to the increased load on your body. Ligaments stretch, nerves are pushed on by the growing baby, there is more strain in your back, legs can swell... However you should be able to walk unless your doctor has put you on bed rest (for other medical reasons, usually not for pain). If you can't walk you should discuss with your doctor.
