very painfull night): ....feeling a bit better now(:

[Geordie&Bairn]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHAT THE F*** is going on????????
This is the second time it's happend and im in pure agony
Ive just woke up with tickly coughs and i could not control my reaction to it coughed quite hard
and felt a ripping sensation in the left said of my bump and my right side began to hurt agian too
it's really hurting

The thing is i had the same on Thursady everytime i sneezed my bump felt very uncomfortable with the pressure. And that night i was sitting down on the edge of the bed and i sneezed and felt a gigantic ripping sensation in the right side of my bump
i shot up screaming in agony
then almost kealed over as the pain throbbed through me
it took me ages to calm down as the pain continued James told me later he thought i was going into early labor the way a was screaming and pantting. and was very concerned

The pain was still there but had subsided the next day though every cough, sneeze laugh hurt.

Collier has continued to bounce kick and dance around inside of me so i am sure he's fine
But im still worried anyway could i have caused damage that could effect my baby?????????????
I have a VERY tight bump now it's at least a size 18 and im a very short and compact girl. so when i sneeze cough there is no room for relise

Should i be worried ive torn my muscles should i go to the docs??
im so scared to lie down agian in case i cough and tear either side agan
ahhhhhhhhh just bloody sneezed and both sides are killing me

damn it

God why am i worried about work when im in pain?

sorry if i sound melodramatic
i think ive posted to many threads 'to many cooks' and all that
or none has advice thst's ok

 

[tots hope]

Sorry you aren't feeling well, I don't have any advice as i havn't experienced this before - maybe just to put your mind at rest call the GP and see if there is an appointment free?

Hope you feel better soon x x x x

i haven't had it since much earlier in pregnancy, but i found that sneezing and coughing back then was really painful - think it was round ligament pain though? might be the same for you??

I've had the sensation like you've been talking about for quite a few weeks now, it happens on and off and can occasionally happen when i'm just sat down.

I spoke to the midwife about it and she assured me that the baby was fine and it was well protected.

If it's what i'm thinking it is, it's muscular type cramps in your lower part of your tummy. But i would definately speak to your GP if you're worried. The good thing is bubba is still moving around.

I do feel sorry for you though, it does hurt like hell, i've rolled over in bed in agony previously when this has happened. Apparently my mum used to have the same problem with all of her pregnancies when she coughed or sneezed.

Hold your bump when you sneeze or cough, it does help

Hold your bump when you sneeze or cough, it does help

i gave up n just bought tena lady lol

 

[Suzie and Faith]

sounds like a torn muscle to me - ouchy! get it checked out if you are worried though.
I know how you feel, i'm never sure what to hold when i sneeze or cough! and some part of me normally hurts! im only little (normally, lol) too so i know what you mean totally. Look after yourself

 

[Geordie&Bairn]

Thanks everyone
still in pain but it's more managable then this morning talked to the triage nurse and she said the level of tearing usually happens when your closer to full term
but because im small and very compact with strong tight stomach muscles there is very little room for anything and that this muscle pulling will occur agian
and that it will probely get a bit worse as i still have more bump growing to do.
LOVELY
she said to ring the docs if it gets worse but to hold off till i see my midwife next Wednesday if possible.

A bit worried about this but as long as my Collier is ok i can climb moutians and fight giants so i'll put up with it

Worried about works reaction though they said if im already in this much pain they may have to rethink when i start my maternity leave
this put the fear of god in me as i need every penny i can get
i NEED to work till the end
so im praying i just grow a higher pain thresh hold and learn to cop with the pain better.
Im singing' ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE' in my head ive always found this song makes me smile and feel better

i've had a cough for 3 weeks which has JUST about gone and i also found i had to hold on tight to my bump to cough else it would feel like it would rip...its just cos everythings so tight already, you can pull an already tight muscle or ligament by sneezing or coughing too hard so just be careful and hope u get better soon!!
