WDYT?

MrsAmyB · January 2010

I know, I hate the what would you do questions. Either way I'm calling the nurse, but I want to know what you think.

I have really bad pubic symphysis dyfunction. The ligaments between my hip bones are rubber and the bone you would think is your hip bone is actually 8 bones fused together. Well, mine are falling apart. My Dr knows this and it really had nothing to do with my uterus or cervix. I just have a very hard time walking. I had a less severe case when I was pregnant with DD, so its not all that new to me.

But, now my vag feels swollen and is sore this morning (all the time: sitting, walking, etc). We haven't had sex in a week. My mind is thinking the worst (that my cervix has shortened to nothing). Or am I swollen and sore because of all the growth going on?

I am a private patient at my peri's office and the percentage of private patients there is low. So I'm sure I will have to deal with them telling me to call my OB instead, but I don't have one. I have heard from others that this happens there although my peri urged me to call him no matter what. They open at 9, so I have a few minutes and then I will call.

I hate calling for nothing. But, what if it isnt 'nothing'? Any advice? Experience?

I'm not sure what it means to be a "private patient" but you are paying this man to take care of you, so just call. It's not nothing. In a triplet pregnancy, you CANNOT be too careful.

Hang in there, I hope it's nothing more than the PSD, but yow, that sounds horrible.

Thanks pea-kay

It means I don't have an OB, so I have no one else to call. I just left a message with the nurses and hope to hear back soon.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I just had an MFM too. Anyway, I hope there's something they can do. A friend of mine is pg with twins (but is a few weeks further along) and is having trouble with that too.

Its weird, I am worried there is something wrong, but I'm also worried that I'm overreacting. I talked to the nurse and thankfully she told me I have every right to be concerned. So I feel better with the overreacting part. My Dr. isn't in yet but will be soon and she left a note on his desk to call me.

I'm glad you talked to the nurse and I hope your doc calls back soon. I was a private patient at the same place as you Amy and they never treated me any different -- they always saw me if I needed to come in for a check so never worry with them, they are awesome.

I hope you get some answers. I know when I had horrible pubic pain my MFM had me take Motrin for a while and it helped, I didn't take it for long but it was nice to get a short break. From your description your pain is much worse than anything I had so I'm really sorry -- it's horrible.

Keep us updated and as always rest as much as possible!

Thanks Robyn! I'm glad they are treating me well with this because one of our local nesties didn't have such a great experience as a private patient though she had a different Dr than me. My dr mentioned doing small doses of motrin to fix it, but he said its a short term fix for 3rd tri moms and that he didn't want me to do that this early.

The Dr called back and he thinks its just rapid growth and says that he will check me out at my appointment tomorrow. I feel better

I'm glad he thinks it is just due to growth, but sorry you are experiencing this pain so early. It sounds awful!

Also, I agree with pp's that you can't be too careful. That is the one big lesson that this board taught me about multiples pregnancies - things change fast and it is best to be overly careful! I'm normally the type of person that wouldn't go to the doctor unless I felt like death, but during pregnancy I learned to change that.

Your doc is awesome -- he delivered my twins and I absolutely loved him. Don't worry, he will not hesistate to answer your questions -- you and your trio are high priority!!!!!!!!!!

I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow, keep us posted Smile
