Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi all...I hate to do this, but I just cant help myself, lol. I am only 24 weeks, and already so uncomfortable. I am reading all the posts about the people who are 30+ weeks and miserable...I cant imagine how terrible I will feel by then! I am having trouble sleeping (tossing and turning all night because of achy lower back and hips/legs) I also feel like there is so much hanging pressure in my lower stomach. I get alot of cramping pain. I did go to the doctor and they said I am fine. I feel like a big baby with all this complaining, but it is so much more miserable this time around. I weigh 100 pounds less than I did with my last pregnancy, and I guess I just assumed I would feel better this time. I was wrong! I notice alot of you say that you feel worse than you did when you weighed heavier. Is this normal??? Also...this baby, which is a boy, is always on the move. Constantly kicking etc...I dont remember feeling my daughter at all until I was closer to the end. Its all weird this time. Well....just had to vent...sorry! thanks for listening Lori D. edd 9-23-04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Lori, How old are you? I ask b/c with my first I weighed #315 and it was a breeze at 28 yrs of age. My second (after WLS) at 170# BUT at age 37 nearly killed me. To me the age was worse than the weight during my pregnancies. Others have had better experiences with post WLS pregnancies. Oh, I did discover that taking my calcium at bedtime (1,500 mg Citracal) helped me sleep better and my legs didn't ache and need kicking as much! Best wishes! I KNOW how you feel. At 36 weeks I told my OB that I felt like I was dying (I'm NOT a complainer either) and that if we left the baby inside me any longer I was afraid what the results would be. He listened, did an amnio for lung maturity then did my section the next day. He is absolutely wonderful, fine and beautiful now (outside of me!) and he is in his crib right now, banging his muscial thingy screaming, " mom mom mommmmmmaaaaaaa! " so I best go for now. lol Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Lorrie, I, too, am feeling EVERYTHING!!! It is uncomfy, but I love it. I actually feel pregnant. I was well over 400 pounds with my other two and I really had no sensation of them moving, kicking, etc. It only gets worse as the baby gets bigger and runs out of room. Even though you (and I) are uncomfy now, to be honest, I feel blessed to have her moving around. So many of my friends have had miscarriages or have lost their babies. Good luck to you!!!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I'm hearing you, Lori! I was really enjoying my pregnancy through the first 26-27 weeks, then things just started getting harder and harder. Even weighing 154 this time around as opposed to the 250+ lbs (not my highest weight) I weighed with my son 13 years ago. Of course, I AM 13 years older and currently 30 weeks pregnant with twins this time around, but I really thought that losing so much weight and getting to a physically healthy state before pregnancy would make things a lot easier. I just don't remember feeling so many aches and pains and soooo much fatigue and exhaustion. I firmly believe that my age (36) has a lot to do with how I am feeling this time around, twins or not. I also abused my body for so many years that I developed osteo arthritis in my back, hips, and knees, which I'm sure isn't helping matters. Some days are physically and emotionally better than others, and during those down days, I think we all need to whine a little just to get it off our chest, of course when I do I start feeling bad for complaining about how my body is feeling with these little blessings inside, then I whine about the emotional impact of my pregnancy and how I must be a bad mom to belly ache... its a never ending cycle, but I keep swearing that I can deal with a few more weeks of whatever my body wants to throw at me so long as the three of us come out healthy on d-day. Keep your chin up, and if you need to whine, go right ahead 'cause most of us can probably understand where you're coming from. Toi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
