Feeling sad about stomach pains...

LoveBug0516 · January 2012

Yesterday, I posted on 2nd tri that I was experiencing discomfort in my right side. I assumed its RLP but called my OB this morning since I was up all night (tossing and turning and crying). It was honestly the worst pain and I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance. I read about RLP but really didnt think it could feel so severe....at some points, it felt like I was being stabbed.

The OB office told me to come in to rule out a UTI which was negative and seem to believe it is RLP but can't be 100% sure. They said to go to the ER if it gets to the point where I am doubled over in pain.Then they used the doppler and the h/b sounded really nice and strong, plus baby was moving around (this relieved me!), but I am still stressed about the pain. It hurts to walk at times, move around - especially to lean over to pick something up. My OB said to take tylenol as needed and up to every 6 hours, but I feel depressed about it.

I spoke with a BFF and she said she experienced the same.exact.thing and had a few nights of tossing/turning and crying but said it got better - maybe I am experiencing a bump growth spurt since I just hit 20 weeks? I guess I am frustrated and sad that I feel so awful when I move but know it could be a lot worse (I am grateful the baby was okay!). I don't even know what the point of my post is - I guess to vent but hopefully feel better afterwards. Sorry if you are still reading this. My A/S is scheduled for Friday and I cannot wait to see the baby and pray everything is okay. Sorry for the rambling... Sad

Sad Feeling like crap sucks anytime especially when you add the anxiety of worrying about baby.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

I've been experiencing the same thing. One day it was really bad. They told me to leave work, take tylonol, lay down and drink lots of water. They went away and came back after I got up. I went in to the dr. and they did all the same test. The next day I had the same thing and then after that it wasn't as bad. Off and on I've had the pain/cramps and try not to worry about it. Hope it gets better for you!!!

I'm really glad to hear that baby seems like its doing well! That must have been a comfort to hear the HB. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I am so sorry your having such a rough time/day..I am glad that the baby is doing well but I too understand how depressing it can be to be in pain. I really suck at taking my own advice these days but try to relax best your can. :::Hugs::: keep us posted on the a/s but I am sure it will turn out just fine..

Thanks ladies. I took tylenol last night before bed and got a good night sleep. That should help a lot - was just so exhausted and in pain which was making me miserable. Gettting excited to see baby on friday!
