Almost halfway!
By stephc2010 » Posted Dec. 17, 2015 4:20am - 235 views - 2 comments
Today I'm 19w3d and can't believe I'm nearly halfway through! Christmas is sneaking up on me and it's really stressing me out! I've only managed to buy my daughter 1 gift so far, and I'm hoping to get a few more small things for her. I've been aching everywhere and keep putting off going shopping. I'm not sure if this is normal for this stage in pregnancy, since I don't remember this at all last time. The best way to describe it is that my inner thighs and lower pelvic area ache every time I get up or walk around or even lift something like the stroller (which isn't that heavy!) or my daughter, and she's only 21lbs. I don't think it's ligament pain, because I know when I get that since I usually turn too quickly or roll over on the bed or something when that happens. I haven't done any physical activity recently (we dtd a few days ago, but I doubt that I'd be sore from that...) this really just started the past day or two and has gotten worse since last night. To the point where I dread getting up off the couch, which means I have a 16 month old destroying EVERYTHING. Who, by the way, is STILL wide awake at 5AM! She fell asleep early yesterday and napped a lot since we were out and about. She woke up at 11pm and has been going strong since then... :( I'm gonna bring this pain up to my midwife on Monday, but hopefully it's normal and nothing to worry about... I'm still feeling baby moving and the movements are getting stronger and more frequent, I'm still getting a few braxton hicks contractions, but it's really only like one or two a day, sometimes more if I'm pushing myself. I'm hopefully going to take a warm bath if my daughter ever decides to take a nap. My husband is going to watch the Star Wars movie tomorrow night and has a dentist appointment beforehand, so I won't have any help with our daughter. Really hoping the aches and pains goes away so I can continue to keep up with her!

 | Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Dec. 17, 2015 10:12am My husband has been looking forward to this for ever, he would be upset if someone posted a spoiler, too! Personally, I'm not a Star Wars fan, so my husband is going with all of his friends (and wearing a costume... *sigh*). He took me to Florida for a Star Wars convention for our 2nd wedding anniversary, that's how obsessed he is with it all! I soaked in the tub earlier and felt much better, but it didn't last long. My poor daughter is getting sick and I feel guilty thinking that it would make taking care of her a bit easier since she just wants cuddles when she's sick... :( hopefully it goes away on its own soon or my midwife can give me tips to deal with it! |
 | Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Dec. 17, 2015 8:49am I haven't experienced pain like that, so I don't have any tips or info for you. I hope your midwife can tell you more and has a solution. We are going to Star Wars on Sunday. My SO is so angry, because a friend on his FB posted a spoiler. I have never seen him so irate! |
