Crazy Emotional Trainwreck.
By SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 3, 2015 3:44pm - 311 views - 6 comments

So, today I've been struggling with some serious emotional stuff - I know it's gotta be pregnancy related. I've been crying off and on all day, missing my husband like mad and when I couldn't reach him via text I went a little crazy and kept texting him off the hook. I don't usually act like this, so I feel foolish - but oh my gosh, what on earth could it be aside from hormones?

I'm feeling pretty crampy and experiencing round ligament pain pretty much every time I stand up today. Maybe at some point I will remember to stand slowly.

Maybe I should call the doctor for an early ultrasound, just to be sure the baby is where she/he should be. I know cramping is normal in early pregnancy, but I'm a bit concerned at it all seems focused (most of the time) on the left side of my lower pelvic area. I know one sided cramping can mean ectopic...I don't even want to think about it, but it's always a possibility.

Maybe that's what I should do - but I don't have any bleeding or spotting. Thoughts?

Anyone else at 5 weeks and feeling crazy and emotional? My poor husband...bless his heart for all he's gonna have to endure with me, the emotional trainwreck, over the next 8 months!

	Comment from aprilluvsmoz » Posted Aug. 5, 2015 10:00am I hate to say this I experienced round ligament pain cramping throughout my entire pregnancy. It never went away, my son was always head down on my cervix and I had placenta previa during my pregnancy to which can cause cramping. My doctor said all was fine as long as it wasnt with bleeding. I definitley would say when the cramping begins try to take it easy and see when the cramping is worse, is it after a particuarly active day? But as always if something worries you call your doc
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted Aug. 4, 2015 10:36am Does it feel like it could be near your ovary? I had an achy/crampy feeling forever in that area and read that it was normal as the ovaries in early pregnancy do a lot of the hormone work. It went away after 10 weeks and that's when my round ligament pain kicked in. I have heard that women who have been pregnant before so experience uterine stretching much earlier. I think making a call and asking to be checked out is definitely not a bad thing. the worst they can say is no and call us if it gets worse. Hopefully they don't dismiss you!
	Comment from SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 3, 2015 8:58pm Mal - good advice. I think I just might if this keeps up. I suppose I will see how I feel tomorrow and go from there.
	Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Aug. 3, 2015 6:01pm It doesn't hurt to ask for an early ultrasound just to our your mind at ease. I'm sure all is well though!
	Comment from SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 3, 2015 5:32pm I'm glad everything turned out well for you! And thank you so much - I have been having round ligament pain aside from the cramping, but no spotting or anything so I hope it's just the normal everyday ongoings of the things taking place in there as they should. If it gets worse or (God forbid) spotting or bleeding starts, I will be calling my midwife. I'm not scheduled to see her until Aug 25th, when I will be just past the 8 week mark. Thank you for your response! xo
	Comment from adiggs » Posted Aug. 3, 2015 4:52pm I had cramping on one side at the beginning. I went to the e.r. but I had also had some spotting. It was just round ligament pain they said. I hope that's all it is for you too.
