Some bumps in the road.

I had an easy pregnancy at first, but now in my second trimester when things are suppose to get easier, I have it a little harder. A few weeks ago I have been experiencing some tailbone pain. Doc says that there is nothing I can do about it, just deal with the pain. It just stinks that I have a desk job and sit on my bum for 8 hours a day! I bought that doughnut and it helps!

Yesterday I think I had what they call is Round Ligament Pain. It was a sharp then a dull ache in my lower left side of my abdomen. At first I got scared and thought it was something worse, but when I looked it up online and in my books it reassured me that it was RLP. It is completely normal - its the stretching of your uterus to accomodate the growing baby. Its just one of those things that again you just have to deal with the pain. :)

Then this morning I woke up and went to the bathroom. After I urinated I had some mild cramping. I couldnt even stand up right away. After a minute I was fine but it is still something alarming to me. I called my doc but they aren't open until 10am so I am going to call back then. It could be a bladder infection or just from holding in a lot of pee for too long (which I think I did last night)....so who knows!

I am not complaining in the least, its just that all these things make me worry!!! Since it took so much for me to get me here - I dont want to take any chances.

  1. :( RLP is rough! I swear, mine felt like someone was ripping my pelvis apart. My friends who had had babies thought I was nutso because apparently it didn't hurt them.

  2. I hear ya! I would be worrying too. Better to check with the doctor to be on the safe side.

    If I ever get to where you are....I am going to be a wreck.

  4. I don't blame you for worrying! I still do at 32 wks... every twinge that seems off, I consult Dr Google ;-)
    I hope the bladder pain isn't something more than holding it for too long ;-) KUP!!
