Lol, my belly button has only half popped out. It is the weirdest thing and SO keeps making fun of me for it.
I've had issues today with some pretty bad pelvic/back pain. I finished a round of antibiotics for a uti a few days ago. The pain started getting bad enough to where I called the nurse hotline. She said to drink some water and lay down and see if that helps and if it doesn't to go to the ER. I did what she said and it did improve for a little while and now it is starting to come back. But it's 8:30pm and I don't want to be a drama queen by driving all the way to the hospital. I think I'm going to try to wait it out unless it gets worse.
@Msashley2010 I would go... I have had TONS of UTIs and back pain can be a sign that it's in your kidneys which can be really dangerous!
Yes. A kidney infection and/or kidney stones while pregnant would be rough. If it doesn't getter better, don't worry about seeming silly... go get checked out!
I agree with @HollyGolightly09 and @wyomama0427. @Msashley2010 it's always better to be safe when pregnant. I don't think there is anything too small to go to the ER for while pregnant. Pretty sure ER staff even feel the same way. No shame in getting checked out.

Not just rough but if it gets to your kidneys the infection could get into your blood. My mom just had a UTI that migrated into her bladder then up into her kidneys. Don't wanna scare you at all but if you've got back pain I'd go in! Let us know!!!! Thinking about ya.
Baby is either suddenly kicking very hard and "popping" me on the left side frequently ... orrrr it's gas moving through finally. 99.9% sure it's all gas.
But I do feel my pulse throbbing in my uterus when I sit. That's obnoxious.

@Sugargirl1019 I feel my pulse in my uterus a lot too, and it's very weird. It feel deeper than what I normally feel when I feel my pulse, and it always give me pause.
Thank you so much ladies!!! The pain actually did subside last night while sleeping but if it happens again today I am most definitely going to go straight to the ER. Better to be safe!! I had a kidney infection while pregnant with DD and it was terrible. I most definitely never want to experience that again!!
I noticed last week I was waking up and my jaw was sore from clenching my teeth. Well I sure wish I would have did something about it then bc it's caused me to flare up my TMJ
Okay so do we remember how we were talking about the pulling twinging stretching I've been having up near my belly button? I asked my doctor today and showed her where it's at and she checked me out and told me that it's not RLP but it's partly due to diastis (@Becky012016 yup Dino bump is diastis, she's not concerned because she says it's more common the second time around since it's been stretched before) and that it's something stretching near my belly button with the abdominal muscles, she used a word that started with an F but I can't remember what it was... trying to google but having no luck there...
Anywho she measured me and felt the fundus up just a little above my belly button! She says I'm measuring at 19 weeks, which is good since I'm 19 weeks tomorrow lol.
Small update. I ended up going to the ER. I'm on fluids and antibiotics via IV. They're thinking it's my kidneys but no test results have been told to me yet. I'm just twiddling my thumbs and reading til they let me know. They're also going to do an ultrasound to check on little man but he has been very active today.

Nooo I was hoping it wasn't your kidneys! Lots of thoughts and prayers your way girl.
Um side note. Soo i was looking at my nipples and for some reason i just kinda squeeze my boob...LIQUID EFFING CAME OUT. Wtaf. I'm a FTM. Only 17wks 3 days.

Yup it was probably clear huh? That's colostrum, I got it about the same time with DS!

What?!? That seems super early to me (not that I know anything about it, lol) not sure I'm ready for all that..
@labby18 oh don't freak out lol don't worry it's good! Your body is doing its job! They call colostrum "baby's first vaccination" because it's SO good for them. Around that time I started leaking little drops when I was about to get in the shower or something. Totally normal!
Weird thing that I actually don't remember at all during my first pregnancy, but I know it happened.. my rib cage is expanding and now my bra is so tight, I legitimately just unhooked my bra in the store and walked around that way. Didn't even care, it was just too tight! Time to go bra shopping ...
@labby18 Don't freak out. Definitely normal; it's just your body preparing for your little one's arrival. You may start leaking a bit anytime your nipples get hard.
@beccam1230 ugh I was so miserable in my first pregnancy, my ribs hurt ALL the time, I could feel my rib cage expanding and it was horrible! I'd wake up feeling like someone took a baseball bat to my ribs.
@labby18 okay that's good lol I remember being freaked too when it happened! Might not hurt to get some disposable pads just in case of leaks. I only had a few leaks before DS was born but it still happened
Thanks so much ladies! I am finally home. The doctor said my kidney is swollen and I have fluid on it. They said my urine looked infected but didnt have a lot of bacteria in it. He called my OB and they said they were okay with them sending me home with stronger antibiotics and pain meds but they want to see me first thing tomorrow to discuss further testing.
I hate taking pain pills but I feel a thousand times better after having one.
@Msashley2010 I hope it clears up fast!!!!! Big hugs. But not too squishy!
Thanks so much!! Honestly, everyone's responses really helped motivate me to go in the first place. I have a tendency to shrug things off but I'm so happy that I went.
@wyomama0427 that is so exciting! My husband can't wait to feel this little guy kick. I've been feeling him for a few weeks but DH cannot.
As far as symptoms, I looked at the list for week 18 and I'm like yep...got all of those. The worst for now is the swelling in my hands and feet. Makes it hard to keep up with the energy of my 18 month old.
@Msashley2010 I am so happy you went! DH is the same way, he doesn't like to go to the doctor at all. It was hell trying to get him to go for his ankle and he couldn't even walk on it! I hope you get better super duper fast.

I just saw this and it made me laugh since it applies to the situation.
