Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

I've been having rib pains for a few weeks now. It helps me to press on my back on the same side as my ribs. It almost feels like they're broken. I can feel the one that's out of place though. It's gross.

That sounds awful! I think it's just from stretching. I feel like my belly has grown a lot and is growing a lot faster this past week.
 
I had pain like that with Sophie, she bruised a rib though and tore one of my muscles. I think it is still a bit early for baby to be able to pull that off yet... you're probably right that your muscles are just screaming due to sudden stretching.

Thanks Maze! And Ouch!!! I hope you don't have to go through that again!
 
I think it is coz everuthing is moving up too, at least only a few weeks and then it'll move back down and then the pain of labour! Fun!
 
I remember having that kind of pain with Mason... he would just push so hard up on my right side under my ribs i just wanted to cry.... but like Maze said i think its a little to early for that.. i remember it starting around 28 weeks i think
 
I'm sorry ladies, but I need to rant a little.

I've been having some pretty serious fights with DF lately and I'm not even sure that I even still want to be with him anymore. I can't handle the stress and I just don't know what to do. I feel so lost and scared and I just don't know what to do anymore.
 
Oh no, what are you guys fighting about? Would it matter a year from now? If not then its probably not worth fighting over let alone thinking about leaving him.
 
Pregnancy is a time that brings out the worst in all of us. Its a stressful time all round. You need to sot down with DF for a serious chat. Sorry your going through this.
 
Sorry hun :( I try to ask that question whenever I have a problem or disagreement- will it matter in a year? It's easy to get heated in the moment, especially when preggo. It can be a stressful time for everyone..plus the hormones. I'm not sure what you're fighting about, but I hope it's fixable...if that's what makes sense for you guys.

Sending lots of hugs :hugs:
 
Thanks for all of the concern and advice, mamas. I did sit down and talk for a long time with DF and I feel a lot better now. We've both been stressed out a lot and it has put some strain on our relationship, but we both believe that it's just a temporary set back. It probably really won't matter in a year. I just hope that the stress isn't hurting LO too much. :wacko:
 
I am glad to hear that you guys have worked it out!!! Pregnancy can be stressful and it can be reflective of the stresses in other aspects of your life. And nah, I am sure your bub is perfectly fine... it takes a LOT of stress to really have an impact on the bub. :hugs:
 
Im glad you worked it out! I totally understand how you feel and sometimes things can get really stressfull and its even harder when your pregnant.
 
I'm glad that the 2 of you talked about it. Taking always seems to help things In my relationship.
 
I have gotten into some of the most childish, most distressing arguments with my husband this pregnancy. It is always so alarming because truly, I love him very much and we are very well-matched. It is just a time of such high emotion, especially when you're on the verge of becoming parents for the first time, it can be that more stressful as a result because you're taking a step into the unknown together. Glad you were able to talk things through and know you're not alone!


26 weeks! Last week before third trimester, boy is time flying. Only 91 days until my scheduled c-section. Crazy.
 
You're so lucky, Maze, that you have a set date that you can have a real countdown :haha: Mine is just an estimated 99 days :haha:

Tomorrow, I'll 26 weeks and one more week until I can say I am officially 2/3 done with this pregnancy. OMG. I remember it like it was yesterday that I entered 2nd trimester! Wow.
 
Sorry i've not been around much, hope you're all well.
Congrats to all who have reached V-Day :)

Wow maze, 91 days. That doesn't seem long at all.
 
Thanks guys! I like having a definite 'date by' to go on. However, I didn't make it to my scheduled c-section with my daughter, so basically as soon as I reach September it could happen at any time. I had Sophie at 36 weeks, and they had scheduled her c-section for 37 weeks in hopes that they could avoid me going into labour naturally. (I was having serious issues with blood pressure.)
 
KalonKiki-so glad you guys were able to work it out. We have been fighting more and getting on each other's nerves more too, so don't feel alone! DH says he understands that I have high hormones right now, but I don't think he does or he would be WAY more sensitive. Glad y'all were able to sit down and talk things through, that shows real maturity and love for eachother.

Maze-I can't beleive you only have 91 more days!! That is awesome. How many weeks will you be at your Csection? I could do the math, but my brain is not feeling up to it today. lol
 
Kalon I'm glad to hear you got it figured out. I swear its so easy to drive each other insane. Just take a breath and maybe leave the house for a little while next time. Go get a pedicure or get a smoothie or frozen yogurt by yourself. But don't just leave without saying you'll be back in a little while after you chill out...did that once, I came back feeling much better and he was really peeved. :doh:

Maze I can't believe you only have 91 days. I feel like its going by so fast but when you put it in that perspective it kind of freaks me out! :) I hope you don't have a repeat of bp problems though. I'm sure thats tough and scary.
 
Kalon super glad to hear that you had a long talk with him. Try not to get it down too much, its a very stressful time like ptr said as much as its exciting its scary and stressful too especially becoming first time parents. Just keep communicating and you will be just fine.
