It's normal but really awful. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597895 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:32:04 +0000 Trailmix 1597895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never ever hurts to call! I never once made it between my bi-weekly appointments without an unscheduled trip to l and d bc of some possible symptom (PTL was my biggest fear too!). The worst that happens is you go to l and d and have those fears put to rest...good luck, you're doing great and I hope baby girl stays put for another 8-12 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597847 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:51:49 +0000 MrsStar 1597847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597843 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:49:18 +0000 avivoca 1597843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely started having pelvic bone pain around that time too. I hope that your little girl stays put until the end of May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597813 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 15:35:44 +0000 NerdBee 1597813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: absolutely! You are doing an amazing job. Whenever you are feeling down it might help to think about how far you've come and how fortunate it was that you discovered the IC when you did. I know it helped me. Every day that you keep your little girl baking decreases the risk of complications by a lot! My little guy is 2 years old now and thriving. You can do it too!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597239 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:48:56 +0000 blackbird 1597239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of this is sooo beyond your control. You are doing an excellent job of hanging in there! I know you are stressed, but you've come so far and the light is at the end of the tunnel. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597191 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:30:49 +0000 mlm2934 1597191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so proud of how you keep holding up physically and emotionally!! I know it's been a long road, but every day extra she has in there is great - maybe focus on the success of days vs weeks?</p> <p>And for the pelvic pain, I've started having that some too, so I think maybe it's just new thing with this stage of pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597180 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:26:44 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1597180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling much more anxious today than usual. Sometimes knowing what could be is the biggest cause of stressors while you're pregnant! </p> <p>I had a friend who knew nothing, but did have IC and delivered at 30 weeks. Her LO spent some time in the NICU, but today, he is a healthy 2.5 year old. He's had no complications since he was cleared for a hole in his heart and is absolutely thriving! </p> <p>I think the fact that you're being monitored so closely is a great sign that your doctors are keeping a very close eye on everything, and hopefully your LO will want to stay cooking until at least the end of May. Saying lots of prayers that she does! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597177 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:25:53 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1597177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks ladies! don't know what I'd do without the HB community :)</p> <p>@spaniellove: the bone pain is totally not fun! it's mostly when I stand up and move around or if I change positions too suddenly in bed. </p> <p>@NerdBee: wow I'm sure that was scary for you! bed rest is def hard, but if it means my little girl will stay put till the end, or close to it, then I'm all for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597164 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:21:01 +0000 NerdBee 1597164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: first of all, great job on keep that baby cooking for 12 weeks already! I was on bed rest for IC from 24 weeks to 37 weeks so I can totally relate to the constant fear that you are feeling. I had an emergency cerclage put in at 24 weeks after they discovered at a second anatomy scan that my cervix was dilated and the amniotic sac was protruding through it! I was on strict bed rest afterwards and it was absolute torture for me. Every time I saw my OB, he reminded me what to do if I suddenly went into labour and it scared the heck out of me! </p> <p>I know that nothing will completely alleviate your fears until you have your sweet baby in your arms and he/she is beautiful and healthy. If it would make you feel better, you should call your doctor. For me, it helped to distract my mind with things like researching baby stuff and online shopping for baby items :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597146 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:15:55 +0000 Mamasig 1597146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had that bone pain in both pregnancies. With my 1st it started early in my second trimester. This time it waited until third trimester. It's painful but normal. </p> <p>FWIW, I'm almost 36 weeks and having been feeling a lot of pressure in that area along with the pain. I had a check up today and totally expected the doctor to say I was progressing. Nope, nothing. Just a normal part of pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597118 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:03:44 +0000 cookiemomster 1597118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry you've had so many stresses and issues this pregnancy =( 28 weeks is great though, so try and focus on that- I know it's easier said than done.<br /> As for the pelvic bone pain- totally normal. I've basically been hobbling around since 25 weeks or so because the pain in that area can get so intense. My doctor said it's just your pubic bone loosening in preparation for labor- it doesn't mean labor is imminent at all, things just start relaxing super early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597085 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:48:30 +0000 spaniellove 1597085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bone pain I think comes with the territory :sad: Is it worse when you get up from a sitting/lying position and walk around? Would it make you feel better to call? Even if it's to ask "what symptoms warrant a call with IC?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597063 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:39:05 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1597063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: thanks for sharing your friend's story :) it does give me a lot of hope hearing about how far others have gotten in similar circumstances </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597031 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:28:55 +0000 reverie 1597031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no advice but as hard as it is just try and stay calm and take it as it comes. one of my close girlfriends went on bedrest with almost no cervix at 24 weeks. she was admitted to l&amp;d at 28 weeks (I think it is fuzzy) and was 4cm dilated. They managed to stop labor and send her home. She was cleared of bed rest at 36 weeks (with twins!) which is actually 1 week past average twin gestation. One walk around the block sent her into labor again and she had healthy babies at 36 weeks 1 day. There is hope at the end of the long road of bed rest. I know she liked reading success stories during her time so hopefully you do too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cant-stop-worrying-today-a-bit-of-a-rant#post-1597022 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 11:24:49 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1597022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as I've mentioned before in several posts I am high-risk with IC and have been on bed rest since 16wks with cerclage at 18wks and daily progesterone. today marks 28wk4d and, while I am so greatful to have gotten this far, today I can't shake my feelings of worry..</p> <p>our weekly cervical checks have shown stability (cervix has been ranging between 1.1 and 1.6cm for over a month now). and almost 2 weeks ago we had a fetal fibronectin test done that came back negative showing that I'd (99% likely) not deliver within 2 weeks of the test. (we go back Wednesday for another test.)</p> <p>this morning I woke up with some pelvic bone pain, almost like I took a spin class and feel a bit sore when I walk, and before I was having some little dull cramping, but I feel like all that comes with the territory right?</p> <p>we've already been to l&amp;d twice in the past month and both times things were fine and I was sent home. (I'd live there hooked up to all the monitors if I could for peace of mind..) I don't know if I should call my dr or just try and relax.. (I've never been one to be good at relaxing) and being home on bed rest with nothing to do doesn't help take my mind off the fear. </p> <p>I know that if, God forbid, she wanted to come now, we'd be ok and she'd make it thru, but I want her to stay in till at least the end of May.. at least. I also know that if, at 16 weeks, my doctor told us we'd make it to 28 I would've taken it in a heartbeat, but I'm just scared. And feel guilty for not giving her a normal time in there, for being sad all the time, for doubting everything. I wish I could be certain that we'd be ok and get farther, prayer helps, but I just don't know how to top myself from worrying. </p>
