Re: question about pelvic pain, severe nausea, headaches and baby kicking

[Guest guest]

Deanna,

Isn't it amazing to watch your tummy just jitterbug? LOL! I love

watching my baby move... can't get enough of it! I keep telling

him, " Do it again! Do it again!! " LOL!

The pelvic pain... where is it located? I pulled one of my round

ligaments by walking too much... and that gives me pretty bad

spasams... also scar tissue (I've had three ab surgeries, too... so

I can feel for you!). I'd double check with my ob just to be safe,

okay?

Nausea -- I'm at 32 weeks and while I had some pretty bad MS the

first three-four months, it settled down until a couple of weeks ago

when I get nauseated pretty easily, if I don't keep something in my

tummy. Try treating it like ms... carry some crackers with you and

nibble on them. That helps me.

Headaches -- oh, girl, I am the QUEEN of headaches!! I get migraines

at the drop of a hat, it seems. My ob gave me tylenol #3 to take

when I just couldn't handle the pain any longer and while I have had

to take them at times, I try not to. Before I resort to the T3's, I

will drink a regular Vanilla Pepsi for the caffeine... sometimes

that stops the headache. If that doesn't work, then I take one

regular tylenol with a second soda. If THAT doesn't work, then I'll

take one T3 and progress to two T3's depending on how bad the

headache is... I had/have psuedo-tumor cerebri, too... and while my

neuro thinks I may no longer have it due to the serious weight loss,

he thinks it could be either PTC or just hormonal migraines.

Hormones during pregnancy can cause some pretty bad migraines, even

if you weren't suseptible to them prior to concieving. Talk the

headaches out with your ob and see what they suggest to do. Drinking

up to two sodas only gives you like 40 grams of caffiene, and one

cup of coffee has 60 grams.... so it isn't that much caffeiene since

the average amount to stay under is 4 cups of coffee...

SOmething to think about... hoep they get better SOON!! Headaches

are just so AWFUL!

Hugs

Just thought I'd share some info regarding the headaches and

caffeine...I use the new Excedrin QuickTabs as they are

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) with caffeine. They don't have asprin the

way regular Exedrin does. I used to get migranes pre-WLS and found

Exedrin worked best for me even compared to valium and enderal.

Just seems like the caffeine in the pills helps get rid of my

tension headaches much quicker than regular tylenol. I will say

they do have a bit of caffeine in them--65mg for each tab of 500mg

of Acetaminophen--and I take 2. I'm pretty much caffeine-free for

everything else so I like to think it isn't that bad and my OB said

it was okay.
