FTM needing reassurance

kaitlin&kurth

I know I'm probably being silly, but I can't get this feeling that something is wrong out of my head.

I went back to the gym this week, first time since getting pg, and made sure not to over do it. I got on the elliptical, went slow, very low resistance, and tried to keep my hr around 140. Sunday was fine, I felt great afterwards, Monday I got a little cramp towards the end. It was a really low cramp, very bottom/side of my uterus, and hurt a little but no more than RLP I've been having. Since then, I feel like I haven't felt my baby move. I feel some things and then think " maybe it's just gas" but no strong kicks.  

Then I think that if something really had been wrong I would be having other symptoms. A few reassuring words would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe just aches and pains from getting back in the gym? Your body's not used to it....

 Really, I have no idea. *HUGS* If you're really concerned, call your doctor tomorrow and talk it out with them. They could have you come in for a quick check or something to reassure you. FX everything is fine!

It sounds Babies are still a little sporadic at this stage - another week or two and you'll feel consistent movement every single day. I say, try not to worry.  Just put it out of your head, and if you stilll feel strongly by mid day tomorrow - give the nurse a buzz.

OKay, my post above just got messed up - but what i was saying was that it sounds like you were thinking so hard about being careful at the gym, that your brain is just working overtime and convincing itself of crazy things.

I think you're okay - I really do. Hang in there!

I'm sure it is fine! I work out several times a week (and I haven't really cut back much from pre-pg workouts yet). I'm 20wks and some days I feel a lot...other days nothing! I haven't really felt anything in the past 3 days but I'm not really worried. LO is still so small and has enough room to flip & play without really pushing on anything yet! In another month it won't be so easy for him and I will feel a lot more!
