Round Ligament Pain... welcome to week 31. I thought for sure I must have a bladder infection because of the intense pain that started at 4 am yesterday and was constant until about 2 am this morning. 22 hours of feeling like I couldn't move. Sitting was super uncomfortable, getting up was worse, walking was painful and rolling over in bed - the worst. I must have gone pee at least 30 times, only to still feel like I needed to... the pressure in my lower pelvis was constant. So I stopped by the doc's office and they tested my urine... no infection. That's good news... but this still sucks! The nurse assured me it was the stretching of ligaments around my growing uterus and while definitely not fun, it was to be expected. Rest, drinking lots of water and Tylenol are my only options for relief. So I tried to stay still (after showing the house) and finally at about 10 pm, I decided I'd take some tylenol and go try to go to sleep. Well, I woke up at 2 am feeling so much better. And all morning, the pain was gone. What a relief... but then I went to lunch, and now I'm back in my office and I feel a replay coming on. I'm wearing a dress today, and there's definitely no lady-like position I can get myself in that is comfortable... so I'm thinking of shutting my office door and posting a note that says "enter at your own risk."
This little boy will be very lucky if he ever gets a brother or sister... at least one that's related by blood. LOL. And to top it off... I got back-to-back comments by my bosses this morning...
From across the hall... "Woah. Look at you. How much longer do you have? Good grief, we're going to need a shopping cart to push you around in here if you get much bigger." AND, as I'm asking about a project, she stops me mid-sentence to say, "Wow, I can't get past your belly, that's a big baby in there."
What can you do but laugh? Oh wait, I better not do that... I might pee.

Melissa, you crack me up. Hang in there. :) I know you know it, but... it is worth it! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteoohhh....that is the worst. Mine were more like shooting/stabbing pains around the groin area. Especially when standing in the evenings. A lot of times I just couldn't stand up for a while. I have a feeling this baby's coming early...you hope, right? :-)
