PostHeaderIcon my vagina is falling out!

OK not really, but that is what it feels like sometimes. I called Kaiser last night thinking I may have to go in, But no basically the nurse told me to get used to it, and get ready for it to hurt worse. GREAT.
Apparently I have Round Ligament pain. This is the ligament that supports your uterus and pelvic floor area. Most women don't experience this pain till about 13 weeks or, i guess I'm just a lucky one! woo hoo! She actually said to me " well think how it feels now, and imagine how much worse it will feel in 6 months" WTF? that is not what i wanted to hear.
Basically standing and walking for longs period of time and SITTING for long periods of time both contribute to this pain! humm that is great, at work i sit, and when I'm not at work I'm usually on my feet.
Basically i have a pressure in my pelvic area that is extremely uncomfortable and by the evening time it is painful. This makes for a rather lazy Monica come 6pm. By the time i get home, I'm ready to lay in my bed and be left alone as laying down is the only thing that helps alleviate the pressure. My poor husband. I feel really bad for him, I HATE the thought of cleaning, Laundry, Cooking, grocery shopping, and sex is the last thing my body wants in the world. I'm really hoping for his sake at least that those second trimester hormones kick in! :)
So for now my Dr says to take it easy when I'm in pain and when I'm not to stay active and continue to walk as much as possible. Other than that my pregnancy has been great so far, I'm tired but I'm not sick, i have my appetite back which is good, and I'm super excited o start showing so that i feel pregnant instead of just fatter!
so that is my pregnancy update as of now!

That sucks!

I remember that pain and it is tough to deal with.

While the nurse was right, its just gonna get worse, try to focus on the baby that you get to hold at the end!! And I know this sounds crazy but you really will miss what your going through right now... TRUST ME!!!!!

K, I don't think that helped at all:) Sorry!

Monica said...

No! I don't even want JJ to get a dog, let alone some parasite I would have to carry around for 9 months.

Ok I am pretty sure it is illegal in all 50 states to call a pregnant woman a pussy. Plus that word is gross!!

And its not a bastard, she is married:)

Jonny is a bastard however, as am I. We are taking over the world. Bastards are the new "planned kids"
