Ok all you seasoned mamas out there, I have some questions!! I have had this intense pain only on my right side just a bit under my right girl ;) It is like a burning pain and it is made worse whenever I sit. I thought at first could it possibly be my bra, but then when feeling the pain when I sit it is no where near where my bra rests... It is definitely not heartburn because I have had a ton of that and wish I didn't know that feeling so well. It started as soon as I started working, I sit down almost all day and sitting makes the pain worse. I asked a doctor where I work about it, and he chalked the pain up to my growing belly and everything moving around... but it is such a centralized and specific pain I'm just not sure I'm ready to let that be the answer. I then asked my new doctor about the pain and he felt it and said maybe it is my gallbladder... he asked if spicy food made it worse and to keep track of what I eat to see if it is food causing it... well, I eat grapes, it hurts, I eat a PB&J it hurts, I eat cereal it hurts, a bag of carrots BAM! BUT it only hurts when I sit for a long period of time, that's the weird thing! Standing or stretched out I'm good... So, I went on Web MD, and put in all of my symptoms... pretty much I'm dying and have cancer.. no help. I don't know?? Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences or has had gallbladder issues during pregnancy?? Sitting. Right side only. Burning pain. Poo.
Second... I always feel like I am smashing my child!! It is really getting hard and uncomfortable to bend over, and sometimes no one is around to help me out, like lotioning or picking things up. I always just feel like I am crunching him. Like the other day, I bent over and literally could feel part of him between my ribs and side so I quickly stood up straight then freaked out because he didn't move much after, and I was having nightmares that I squished him!! He got back to moving hours later... phew! Can he get squished?? Does he have enough cushion to keep him snug and secure?? and what about a not flaming hot, but not coldish warm shower, i love letting the water just beat on me, even my front side, is he gonna get burned??
I know I sound crazy, but people I think about these things all of the time!! Help me out mamas give me some feedback!!
love love love

I have no clue about the pain, but I am really sorry and will pray for healing for you. As for squishing - not gonna happen! Your bag of waters is amazing and is perfectly created by God to cushion Owen. grace and peace be upon you!
ReplyDeleteHey Girlie! I left you a comment but I guess it didn't take! I kind of said the same thing as Sarah! No way Owen can get squished. Also, a warm/hot shower is fine. Just be careful not to overheat yourself. I think hot tubs are a no-no though! Not sure about the pain. Be persistent with your docs if it continues though...nobody can be more proactive about your health than you! Don't take no for an answer, if you feel something that they are dismissing. You are in charge!! You are the mom! I'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! I know I just need some reassurance sometimes that these things I think aren't crazy! As I am sitting here Owen is super active giving me an E Town Beat Down ;) I will get in contact with my doctor, it is just so strange that the pain is only when I am sitting for long periods of time maybe pressure on the area that hurts? I dont know. No worries on the hot tub, definitely no place for me! I love being able to get some insight and reassurance from some mommies!

Really could be gas getting trapped from sitting for so long! Bedrest actually hurt because I got so stopped up and gas bubbles up from so much sitting and laying get some gas chewy pills and try to take stretching breaks.
