I seriously feel pain with every step that I take. I'm guessing its that syatic (SP?) nerve? But whenever I put pressure on my left leg I feel like I could fall over for like the past hour.. IT HURTS!!!!!!!!!
Oouch! Sorry to hear that. I gather that is one of the drawbacks of carrying extra weight when you're pregnant?
Pelvic rocking is an excellent exercise and can be done sitting, standing or lying down. Just rock your pelvis back and forth. If you are on the floor, push the small of your back into the floor and then relax. Do a Kegel at the same time. Hold for five seconds and relax. As long as your back is directed toward the floor and the lumbar curve is pushed into the floor, you can do most exercises safely.
Simple head lifts while exhaling (keeping you knees bent) are an excellent abdominal exercise. Walking with good shoes is also therapeutic.

it's where the baby is sitting...i think. At least that's what I heard. It seems to be that when he finds a comfortable spot you can't get the baby to move!
