FX for you. That's crazy. Hope all is ok

rockkandi · August 2014

Prayers!!! Keep us posted! All happy thoughts coming your way!

NatureLovers · August 2014

Thanks y'all. I'm anxiously awaiting a check or ultrasound to see what's happening with my cervix. The contrax are fairly regular and show up on the monitor.

LaBellaVida · August 2014

Oh no! ((Hugs)) to you. Please keep us updated!

NatureLovers · August 2014

It's not related to dehydration either. Yesterday I had ketones in my urine, so I chugged water until the ketones cleared. Plus, the contrax that I've gotten when dehydrated are non painful braxton hicks. These hurt so much they woke me up. They're very painful. My lower belly, thighs, and lower back are throbbing. Luckily her heart rate is a strong 157bpm.

Hugs, t&ps. Patience, baby naturelovers!

The doctor just came in. My labs look good except my liver enzymes are still high, so they'll be watching that. I'm going to have an ultrasound to check my cervix. However, she thinks this is due to my fibroids. As my uterus grows, they begin to get starved of blood flow, kind of like having a heart attack. This causes severe pain and irritates the uterus, causing contractions. She told me to expect that I will be in chronic pain for the rest of the pregnancy, and that I will be put on meds and narcotics to help.

Chronic pain for the rest of my pregnancy. FML.

SpaceGirlSpiff · August 2014

Oh god, I'm sorry to hear this! Hope the contactions stop and baby stays put... You really are due for a break!

FX she stays put!

I've basically been bedridden thanks to the HG, so it won't really be anything new.

Smelh324 · August 2014

FX everything's ok!

amiej1227 · August 2014

Ts & Ps, hope you start to feel better!

LaBellaVida · August 2014

I'm so sorry you're having such a rough pregnancy. I can't imagine what your going through. Try and hang in there.
I hope their able to stop the contractions, if they haven't already.
I the end all this will be worth it. Promise. Glad she's doing well in there still.

Maebb · August 2014

I'm sorry - I hope the rest of your pregnancy is as comfortable and healthy as it can possibly be.

cbranch89 · August 2014

Sending lots of thoughts and prayers. How is your cervix holding up?

Milagros315 · August 2014

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this NatureLovers. I hope that your cervix looks good and they can get everything under control (back to normal? I'm not sure what the proper wording is) very soon! T&Ps for you!

tripletoe · August 2014

So sorry to hear this!

NatureLovers · August 2014

Thanks y'all. I'm still waiting on the ultrasound.

GromMom · August 2014

You poor thing! Fx you don't experience chronic pain for the rest if your pregnancy, that sounds like a nightmare and you've already gone through so much!

sgio7485 · August 2014

I'm sorry

I'm thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

mmooki · August 2014

letsgox · August 2014

How terrible! Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Hope your u/s goes well. I'm glad baby girl is doing well, though.

NatureLovers · August 2014

Just had the ultrasound. My cervix is long and closed, yay! The spots where I'm having the most pain are where the fibroids are located, so they're definitely the culprit. Oh, and we know 100% it's a girl! My hubby is thrilled.

The doc was pretty clear this was going to be a permanent problem.

The pain is intense enough to require narcotics, so we'll have to dial back before delivery so she's not born addicted. That's a sobering thought. At the same time, if I don't take the narcotics the stress from the intense pain is no good either. It's a catch-22.

Edvent · August 2014

So sorry to hear this. You are seriously a trooper! Congrats on your girl and sending thoughts and prayers!

AlfiesMOM · August 2014

Oh wow you poor thing.

idontevenknow · August 2014

My gosh, @NatureLovers‌ I can't imagine!!

luciddreamer106 · August 2014

I'm so sorry that you're going through this and dealing with so much pain. I hope that the contractions stop and I'm glad that the cervix is still long and closed. And congrats on a baby girl!

Wow, I wish there was something they could do for you so you wouldn't be stuck between a rock and a hard place! I'll be thinking of you!

On another positive note, she weighs 10oz, which is very good for 18wks, especially with my hyperemesis. The bump says she should be 6.7oz.
