Okay, I think this pregnancy is just wearing on me right now. As I posted a few weeks back, I started having alot of contractions around 17-18 weeks pregnant. I am now almost 20 weeks and they haven't let up, although I haven't dilated any which is quite reassuring. But the cramping and such (along with the contractions if I have been up) just won't let up. Yesterday was an okay day, but then today I just don't feel well with it. I have also been having some right side pain (enough last week that I was doubled over with it for an hour or so), but now it is just dull most of the time. I have been told it is just round ligament pain--but I guess I thought that would go away?? I am so thankful for the fact that we are pregnant, I think I am just having a bad day. Have people experienced this their whole pregnancy? The dr acted like yesterday (this was a different one than I saw when I went in for the contractions--we have to rotate through the clinic) that I was just going to do this the whole time! I know that everyone's pregnancy is different--I just am having a bad day with it, and this along with the emotions don't mix!! TIA

Hugs Emdee! I had contractions and round ligament pain all along as well. Take some Tylenol and lay down on your side just for a few minutes to help relieve the pain.
Hope you feel better - and just think of the amazing reward at the end!

I had pain from my round ligament throughout most of my pregnancies and it is such a hassle. I always had to stand up slowly or I would have a piercing pain in that area. I'm so sorry that you are so uncomfortable. Can you take a bubble bath or get a backrub to help you feel any better? {{{Emdee}}}
