Are you always feeling SOMETHING when pg?

Million$$Baby

I hate that I never know if things are normal or not! I assume it's totally normal to always feel something, right? I mean, most of the times I feel some kind of pressure - usually around the area near the base of my spine. My OB said it was normal and was most likely my spine being pushed back to accomodate my uterus (eeek!). But then I feel those occassional twitches and aches and shooting pains in my uterus, which I'm sure are normal but freak me out. But then if I felt nothing I would probably freak out too! How do you ever relax??!?!?

I would love the answer to that question. I am such a worrier now.

You don't ever relax, you just accept that this is your new normal. Aches and pains are normal now. Weird crampy things- normal. Organs being shoved out of the way- gross, but normal.

I don't think you ever stop worrying, but you can ease your worries. You just have to think about it, women with one baby experience all types of discomfort, you have THREE babies growing and stretching your insides. While one baby grows at a certain rate you have 3 babies doing that at one time so your body is stretching and accommodating much faster. I was the same way when i was prego. Sometimes it would hurt pretty bad! I wish i could say that it gets better, but really you go through times that it feels fine and then they'll have growth spurts and it'll hurt. On top of that your body is just going to hurt in general from all the extra weight. It'll be okay and you can do it. My OB was my best friend. I say anytime you have a worry its better safe then sorry so give them a call to ease your mind. That's what they get paid so much for, and at least you can worry a little less then:) Good luck! I hope everything goes well!

when i was at about your point in my pregnancy, i really didn't feel anything. when i woke up in the morning, i'd have to feel my belly to reassure myself that i was actually pregnant and that it wasn't a dream. for the most part, the exhaustion and food aversions of the 1st tri had passed, but i wasn't looking too pregnant nor feeling any pains yet (nor the babies.) so yeah. normal.

i never was able to relax when i was PG, like you i had too many scares. ?ummmmm, and now...it's worse...lol!

Sometimes I would feel nothing (earlier) and freak out. ?Now I feel little things most of the time - pinching like a stomach muscle has been pulled, hip pain, shooting pains elsewhere, and most recently this extremely weird vibrating when my stomach 'growls' now because it's been pushed up.

I always ask DH (like he knows) if it's normal and I can't even begin to tell you how many times he's said, "Um...things are moving, babe." or "You're growing 2 PEOPLE in there...you've gotta make room."

Somehow, it has helped ease my mind. ?:)?
