The past couple of days I have noticed
severe lower abdomen pain..I was bending
down the other day and then I went to come
back up, I couldn't the pain was too
bad...It passed about a minute or two
later though..Then it happened the same
way last night...I have a couch that if
you sit down on it you sink it...And when
I tried getting up those pains were there
again...Anyone have this happen?
Well I am 26 weeks and 6 days (so 27
weeks) and I had bad pains the last couple
days, I went to the hospital finally today
and it isn't preterm labour (thank
goodness) but I do apparently have a
bladder infection which my doctor said
could be a part of my pain if not all so I
have antibiotics and just to make sure
that nothing else is wrong an ultrasound
tomorrow. All I can advise you to do is
call your delivery hospital and explain to
them what is going on they may tell you to
come in to be sure, or to call your family
doctor...Either way I would double check
to make sure that you dont have a bladder
infection. I was having dull mensteral
constant cramps in my lower abdomin and
sharp stabby pains higher up that come and
go...
Hope that helps a bit.

Yes, it could be a bladder or kidney
infection--but it is prolly just "baby
growing pains"
women have what's called ligament pains
and it is from the uterus growing and the
ligaments having to stretch--that is
prolly what it is. If the pain persists
severe I would go see the .Dr or go to
.Er.

Thanks girls...I get that american baby
magazine and don't you know last night
after I posted I was reading an article in
on what is normal and what is not and it
said if you have pains in your bag right
under your ribs and they are on the sides
of your back that you may have a urinary
tract infection..This happens to me alot
too...I have a doctor appointment on the
12th of this month so I am going to let my
doctor know about it then...Also I have
heartburn every night still that won't go
away unless I throw up...It gets so bad
that I can barely stand it...I bought tums
and they do work but I take about 3-4 a
day..Do you guys think this is bad for the
baby? My friends all got a list from
their ob/gyn's on things they can take and
things they can not, but I can't go by
them because my doctor is different...I
have brought up some of the things they
take and he normally says not to take them
and prescribes me something else..Or just
says what I am going through is normal. I
have not had a normal pregnancy by far (in
my eyes) and everytime I worried about
something he normally the baby is
fine...My last ultrasound was at 20 weeks
any idea on when they schedule you another
one? I just want to make sure the baby
really is doing ok.

That's good to know....I just get it so
bad that I can't take it...Is this normal
or does this only come to some mothers
lol...I had all day sickness clear up
until my 6th month and had the heartburn
than too...Finally one leaves up but the
heartburn is just as bad as having the
sickness back because it makes me wanna
throw up...I can't win for losing.

Oh finally someone who can relate to my
pains!
Lol ill be 30 weeks this saturday and I
have heartburn so bad sometimes and
nothing seems to help. I don't even think
I can describe this kind of heartburn to
you, not normal heartburn, it's like the
heartburn from hell. And right underneath
my ribs feels like they're constantly
being punched and kicked and pulled. I
talked to my doctor about the heartburn
and he told me it was normal for some
girls to have constant heartburn, tums are
okay but if you want to try something that
relieves your heartburn allday,and keeps
you from having to constantly keep taking
tums, try the zantax stuff. It is
wonderful. Ask your doctor about it next
time. And the pains you feel are just the
baby pushing and growing against your
belly and your ribs having to expand to
hold it all. Hope I helped.
