I can totally relate to the hip/pelvic/etc pain! I thought maybe it was from traveling/flying/sleeping in a different bed over Thanksgiving until I saw alot of you are experiencing it too. Now I think it might just be the stage we are all at in pregnancy.
I got my bloodwork results back from the 1hr glucose yesterday, not good... I failed it
so now have to do the three hour test on Monday. I am just hoping that I do not end up having GD... Like I said i had a high BMI going in, although my weight gain has been less than they like, if anything, through the pregnancy, and a huge family history of diabetes and a few people who had GD. My husband says it is okay and we will deal with it... the one thing I haven't been doing enough of is walking/exercising because I don't get home from work until late and am exhausted, and now hurting, at the end of the day. We are going to start walking together most evenings whether or not I end up passing the 3 hour test.
I am also slightly anemic, which I was wondering about because my energy is SO low. Because I am already on a prenatal with iron they just want me to try to add more iron-rich foods to my diet.
I feel like I have been handed a huge blow. I know a lot of people fail the one hour and then pass the 3 hour so I am trying to be positive. If I fail the 3 hour we just deal with it and try to keep baby and Mama as healthy as possible but still.
My mood has been crap the last two days anyway and getting these results have not helped. I am worried about me, I am worried about baby, I am angry at my body... I am angry that this pregnancy directly followed a miscarriage so it has been wrought with intense fear of losing this baby as well (we lost the first baby very very early on.) I am angry at myself for still grieving the baby we lost even though I am so in love with my little Emily who is growing snug inside of me. (I attend a pregnancy after loss support group once a month, and it helps, helps me to realize the feelings I feel are normal but it is hard to not just feel like "I should be over it" and happy because I am pregnant again... but this child does not replace the one that we lost... they are our two separate babies.)
I am angry that it seems like this pregnancy is complication after complication that, thankfully, seem to be being managed fine thanks to being followed closely and having good care. I've been sick and sore and miserable and, mostly, I just want her to be okay. I am struggling with being "out of control" with my body... I think part of the intensity of this has to do with being in recovery (for about 7 years) from anorexia/bulimia and other issues from my past... one minute I am fine/happy/so in love with my bump and the next minute I just feel so out of control at all these changes/sensations.
I am just really struggling lately... don't get me wrong I love my baby and feel so blessed to have her growing safely inside of me but I am so full of thoughts and fears and emotions... I am afraid I won't be able to bring her to term safely, I am afraid I won't be a good mother, etc, etc , etc...
Sorry for venting... I just needed to get some of this out and thank you for reading/listening.
On a brighter note, as I am typing this she is squirming all around in there to remind her Mama that she is okay and that it will be okay.
