TTC and Beyond!

[brunettebimbo]

Omggggg I'm freeeeee!! A full week at home and then a full week in Florida!!

Anyone have ideas as to why everytime I work out (45-60mins, 5-6xper week), just brisk walking that I would get a pinching pain under my right rib cage?? It's been happening for about 4 days now and it's weird. Like every time I get going I feel it. The baby is like the size of a dime so obvi it's not that!!! Lol but can my organs be moving up or something??

I had this when I was pregnant with my son. I remember text my older sister asking her worried and she said it was completely normal. I used to get it walking to work, the further on in pregnancy I got the worse it got but it stopped when I stopped walking.

Julie do you mean the opposite to constipation?

Has anyone else found that your bowels are more sensitive since being pregnant? I haven't had the constipation problem at all yet. The last 2 mornings I've woken up at 3am with horrible stomach pains and had to get up and use the restroom.

Also, whenever I roll over at night I have to be careful bc it feels like I pull muscles. I'm assuming it has to do with ligaments stretching out and such. It started at like 5 weeks. Anyone else had that?

Yes, to both. I've found that as someone whos always been constipated I all of a sudden "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now"...like running up the stairs! Also, and kinda of quick movement ie...sneezing, makes my insides scream take it easy!! There's def a lot of stretching going on in there, I wouldn't worry! I've actually been having a lot of cramps too, like think my period is on it's way and read that's totally normal too and actually is at it's worst between 8 and 10 weeks. Just gotta keep telling ourselves it's all good thing and our bodies are just making room for the bubbas!!

BB-kind of, not like how the girls were talking about peeing out of their butts or anything like that. It's loose and comes with horrible stomach pains. Once it's out I'm all better though. I've just thought it was weird bc I've been expecting constipation but haven't had problems with it so far.

Kara-I haven't had the cramping for a few weeks but I'm sure I will. It just feels like I pull muscles if I move too quickly sometimes. It hurts! It's crazy all these things no one tells you about pregnancy...

 

[brunettebimbo]

I was like that when I was pregnant with my son. I remember my Doctor saying how weird it was because usually pregnant women get constipated. He said it was completely normal though.

Morning ladies! I have returned...

Julie - the last 2 days I have felt like razor blades have been moving through my intestines. It's actually taken my breath away. I know progesterone messes with your intestines and they're getting squished at the same time...combine that with constipation and ugh 💩💨

Kara - I think you asked about if my u/s was abdominal or vag? It was an abdominal one.

Our appt went really well. I'm currently reading the info book they gave me. I got a billing contract in the mail for the drs fee for birth yesterday and some maternal case worker called from the insurance company to ask me a zillion questions. Then I go on Thursday to meet with the education nurse, then back to the OB next week. It's starting to feel more real I guess. Still terrifying but I'm trying to maintain a positive outlook. My road map to my right boob appeared so now I've got a full blue veined road map on my TA-tas.

Waves - When I made my bouquets I flipped over a box and cut out squares for the bouquets to rest in then covered the tops with bags

Emily - I'm so jealous that you get to meet your little man soon. Does Danny understand that's there's a baby coming?

 

[morganwhite7]

Yeah Julie I was going like that before I started the Zofran. It actually started in my 2ww!

 

[morganwhite7]

Glad to have you back Rachel

 

[clynn11]

Yay! Glad you're back Rachel

 

[Disneybaby26]

So happy to see you Rachel! Xo

 

[TTCaWee1]

Nikki and Emily - do you know what side your babies implanted on? I was told that girls implant on the left and boys on the right. My friend has a boy and is pregnant with a girl and the girl is on the left, the boy was on the right. I have a feeling this is a boy and when I went to the OB they said the baby is on the right side....

 

[goldstns]

rachel- I have heard that too... I think the idea is if the baby is implanted to the right or left of the placenta (sack)....I can't remember which side mine was but I think it was right in the middle... Ill try to post my first US pic

 

[goldstns]

here is my first picture... I believe like 7 weeks

 

[goldstns]

here are more... but more of a progression of her... can't remember the exact weeks

 

[TTCaWee1]

Thanks. I can't tell by them though. Give me a CT and I can read it....I can't tell which side is which on an u/s

 

[brunettebimbo]

That's really interesting. I'm not sure which side my son was on. How would I know?

 

[jury3]

Welcome back Rachel! I'm interested to know if that's true or not...based on where most of my cramping was I'm assuming mine implanted on the right. Our ultrasound is Thursday, so maybe I can find out then!

 

[jury3]

Ps Rachel-10 weeks!!! Almost to the 2nd trimester!

 

[morganwhite7]

Happy Monday!

Holy crap 10 weeks Rachel! That's so far along lol! I am so excited to get further along, and for my bump

I am trying to take this pregnancy month by month (like a cycle, while spying on TTCers! ) so that time flies faster. Although that is a bit hard when every Sunday I am one week further along, and my bean does another amazing feat!

But it feels all too familiar to me, like I said, an exact repeat of last year. I remember being sick every morning in the fall. I remember it being cold and windy in the mornings, rolling down the windows for a freeze-out because my stomach was doing backflips. It is just so weird to me. I sit at home on my preggo apps watching as my bean sprouts fingers and loses a tail.. It's just all so fresh still. I don't want to sound unthankful but it just hurts sometimes. Having to go through this whole other year, waiting, praying, daydreaming of a little person I may get to keep forever. Should I let my heart go and love this bean will all I've got? Is it okay yet? I just have constant questions flowing though my mind, wondering what the results will be this time. We were in traffic this morning and had to slam on the breaks quite a few times, I just sobbed. I hate this feeling and I miss Jaxon. I hope he knows that this baby will never change my love for him, he is the one I will long to be with forever.

I am just feeling a bit scared and overwhelmed by having to wait 9 more months for my baby to keep. Lol I know that sounds silly, but I don't trust life. I just want to live on my couch so that nothing happens to me and my bean. This is going to be a long winter!

*On a positive note- Lastnight I splurged on a crapload of online maternity clothes (and scarf, jewelry, legwarmers, boots ) from New Look (free shipping to the U.S! ) https://www.newlook.com/shop/maternity/view-all-maternity_1920039?No=0&Nrpp=100

And also ordered DH a new hat for the Steeler's game, and a new bible. Now I'm set for vacation, think I may make a ticker for that now.. lol

 

[Cowgirl07]

Morgan-I love your ticker. I know your worried so I have my fx and prayers sent for you. The clothes are awesome, I love them!
Rachel-welcome back!!
AFM: I am done stalking now

Thanks Katrina, come back soon
