An intro and a listen to your body story

Hi March15 ladies. I've been lurking since my BFP over July 4th weekend but haven't posted before.


I'm a second time mom and I'm 14 weeks today (sorry about not having a ticker but I wanted to post this before I lost my nerve) and spent the morning in the ER. I had been having trouble urinating for the past 2 weeks but chalked it up to normal pregnancy aggravations even though I didn't remember having anything like this with my son. Finally late last night, it got to the point that nothing was coming out and I was in a terrible amount of pain. Still doubting myself, I waited until this morning to call my OB who told me to get to the ER immediately. Within about 30 minutes of arrival I had been catheterized and felt much better. 


It turns out the baby (who is fine) is on my urethra and completely blocked my urine output. I was released with the catheter still in and an appointment with a urologist to try to come up with a plan of action for long term care. Even though this is very rare I wanted to tell my story in hopes of encouraging other pregnant women to listen to their body when something feels wrong and not just suffer thinking 'it's part of being pregnant'. Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be an active part of this board in the weeks and months to come.

    wow, a good cautionary story. I am constantly trying to "walk things off" or thinking "it's nothing" and I shouldn't complain. I'm sure a lot of us do this. I'm glad you and baby are okay, and hope everything works out! welcome and congrats

    Thank you all for the kind words. I am very grateful that the baby and I are doing well. I keep reminding myself that even though this is uncomfortable I am so lucky to have a healthy baby growing in there.
