esp those with multiple children. my first two pregnancies were great. no discomfort, etc, until the last week or so. well, not this time. up until now it's been great. heck, it's been so easy i didn't even realize i was pregnant at first.
anywho. i was told i have round ligament pain, but omg. my tummy hurts all the time, but only in a half circle from mid side on one side around the bottom and then up to the mid way up my side again. it hurts when i'm sitting, it hurts when i'm laying down. it hurts when i get up. it hurts to walk, or stand, it even hurts when i have to go pee. i don't want to eat, because if i eat even a bite too much my tummy goes from just a throb to a full blown bending over for an hour b/c it hurts b/c of the tiny bit of extra pressure. same thing if i drink more than a sip at a time. it literally hurts to take too deep of a breath. i'm having to limit my driving to where i only do it when i HAVE to b/c it makes me so uncomfortable. it's not like a little dull ache, it's constant and feels like i've been running the entire week without even stopping for a minute. i thought to take some cramp medicine, but don't know if i can now that i'm pregnant and midol, etc, are for period cramps. it's been like this for a week now, and hasn't gotten any better or worst, but makes life very uncomfortable. i can't pick the kids up b/c it hurts me, nothing. vacuuming / sweeping has even become torture. i can't even put anything on my tummy if it's heavier than a blanket b/c i'll end up puking or hurting worst b/c of it. even a coke bottle sends me over the edge b/c of the weight.
i haven't gained a lot of weight. actually, it's evening out b/c i'm losing some weight everywhere else, but gaining it on my tummy. i still fit in my normal clothes, except that my pants are too big now. i haven't even been overly active. i've been "chillaxin" because i didn't want to push it and end up hurting, but i still didn't avoid this. about twice a day, my whole tummy also tightens up, and on top of my normal tummy pain makes it all but impossible to do anything until it's stopped (usually last about 30-45 seconds). like contractions, but they never get stronger or more frequent.
has anyone else had this happen, and did you find anything to do about it??? i'm making an appt. for this week or next, first available one that i can make, but wanted to ask if anyone else has had this happen to them.
