I knew going into this pregnancy it wouldn't be the easiest. My 1st pregnancy wasn't easy so I didn't expect this one to be any different nearly 10 years older. Aside from spotting here and there a little in the 1st trimester I lucked out once again and did not suffer the horrible constant morning sickness. My issues always tend to hit in the 2nd trimester and this pregnancy is no different. I know the very high blood pressure is the main cause of why I feel so sick and horrible all the time though and I'm thankful I have a good perintologist keeping a close eye on me and the baby. This shortness of breath though is getting so much worse. The littlest thing I do and I am breathing like I just ran 3 miles. I am assuming it's because everything is so squished up inside but it doesn't help my dizziness. Now, the past 2 days I have been having period like cramps though...and last night they got pretty bad. This is uncharted territory for me though this pregnancy since I did not experience that with my daughter. I'm hoping this is normal. From what I googled, it seems fairly common but I am praying it's also not a sign of premature labor. I don't have any spotting though which is a good sign. I just tell myself everyday I am still pregnant is a blessing though and I am willing to take feeling like complete crap all these months for Maddie to come out healthy and full term. Just wondering though if anyone else has experienced the cramp thing though?
