PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Heart - I have been sleepgasaming since we got pregnant too. I hate that it is crampy afterwards too. It's so crazy because I have zero sex drive when I am awake. I read somewhere that babies can feel the good feelings we feel when it happens though.
Thanks for posting the pics.
That sounds like round ligament pain to me, I have been having some strange pulling and cramping, I asked my doctor about them and she pretty much said, pregnancy is uncomfortable...Thanks for that doc!

I hardly got any sleep last night. All day I had butterflies. Tonight hubs and I went to dinner and then Babies-r-us to look at cribs. Still got a little overwhelmed with all the decisions we have to make- all we ended up buying were the teeniest little pair of sandals which baby will wear for about 2 weeks but I couldn't resist!

Hopeful - That must have been a very stressful time for you. good thing ur dr double check and all is well. I'm so jealous of your weekly scans.

heart - We posted at the same time. That pain sounds like round ligament but keep an eye on it. I've never had anything in that area, so no experience sorry. Gotta love a kick or two for reassurance.
Sleepgasm's hey never heard of them. I know you've been careful about not having them with dh, our bodies have minds of their own, Maybe you body decided it needed to relax!

Croy - with baby stuff just make the big decision not like pram, cot, carseat, change table and then wait until after your baby shower (if your having one) I'm hoping it will take away alot of the stress of everything we need and don't have yet. Also take hand me downs if available takes the choice right out of your hands and you still get what u want.
When baby shopping I stick to what I need and don't venture into other sections, The choice and variety makes my head spin. take your time with it.

Thanks girls, I appreciate the feedback. I read about round ligament pain and found out the ligaments go down the side of the uterus to the inner thigh and groin. I'm definitely going to ask them to look during my scan on Monday. Then I have a doctor's appointment next Friday so will ask then too.

Croy, I also have no sex drive when I'm awake. I'm too afraid! I adore my husband and want to be close, I just don't want to have sex. I've had 2 orgasms with him since I've been pregnant and they both caused cramps afterwards.

I've had 5 sleepgasms in total. I'm sure my body wants the release and misses my husband. But I really don't like the cramping afterwards.

My mom and I are going to Ikea and Babies R' Us tomorrow to look at furniture. I'm not at all ready, but have read it can take a few weeks to months to order stuff. So I know I have to start looking. She's a very practical woman so I know she'll help me navigate the stores and keep me from getting overwhelmed.

Hopeful, my mother has been addicted to the Babies Bargain book! She keeps reading it and telling me all the helpful hints! At this point, I won't have to read it as she'll just tell me everything I need to know! It's a great book! Croy, you should get it. It will help you figure out what to get and why you should be getting it.

OMG! My ticker just changed! I'm a cantaloupe! Half way there!!!

 

[daviess3]

Yay heart so exciting hun! I had that pain at top of my legs stc an I asked of friend who told me I will prob notice bump growth the next day an I could?!!! I had no sex drive either until yesterday an really fancied it hubby worked night last night so no chance lol! I had sleepgasms in first tri!

Hopeful pleased ur ok hun I didn't get them to check my cervix but I might at my consultant appointment next week! I wonder if I'm having a boy as my baby's skull looks similar to urs Croy! Congrats lovely your pics r fab an he's all boy lol! Is that you in the pic? Yr tiny!! Gorgeous ballon pic x
Afm been awake since 430am! Y? X

 

[heart tree]

Oh Davies, I was awake at 4:30 last night. It's awful! Now I need to go compare skulls for yours and Croys.

I know, Croy is so tiny! I showed my mom and said, look at how small she is! I feel like my bump is out of proportion to how far along I am. It's huge right now! I'll post another on Sunday.

Davies was your pain on the top or inside of your leg? Mine is definitely on the inside groin and inner thigh area, but I can also feel it in my uterus too.

I definitely think you should get your cervix checked just in case. Are you having a scan next week? If not, do you have one scheduled?

 

[daviess3]

Don't have another scan scheduled but I have a cons appointment so I'm not sure if he will scan me! I hope so! I can ask then! Yes Hun my pain was either side at the top of my inner thighs an I did feel like slight pain inside to! It felt like I had done a fab work out N pulled a muscle or overdone it! I couldn't stand on one leg to put a shoe on other foot as balancing wasn't an option! But was just stretching/ ligament pain! Compare pics not the pic of mine with hand I mean other one! My pics r rubbish quite diss appointed! X

[puppycat]

Puppy, Maybe slamming doors, yelling and complaining is what he meant by "coping" ?

That's a very good point!

I asked him last night (while i was being sick) when he was in his sleep-truth state if he resented baby for making me so sick and he said yes.

Heart my sister definitely got this! I went to see her when she was about 24 weeks and she was moaning bitterly about pains there. It's something to do with muscle connections and nerve endings but she had her little girl, darcie, no problems! X x x
