It got to the point the doc ordered an ultrasound of my upper abdomen to make sure all my organs were ok (lots of organs smushed up in the right side). Everything was ok but man does it hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-pregnancy-attacks#post-425705 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:24:04 +0000 junebuglim 425705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg! I remember having this when pregnant with my twins too! It was so painful - when driving or sitting I would put something behind my back (behind the area it hurt) - like a water bottle which helped with the pain. I was so afraid it would last the rest of my pregnancy but it slowly subsided. I hope yours does soon also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-pregnancy-attacks#post-425686 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:14:19 +0000 Mrs. Train 425686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I had terrible rib pin with my twins. I am pretty sure someone's foot was ripping my ribs apart. The only relief I could find was to be on my knees with a pillow on the ground and lay my head and chest on the couch. It made it so ,y belly just hung down for a bit. It helped stretch my back and take pressure of my ribs. My husband made fun of me but at that point I didn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-pregnancy-attacks#post-425673 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:06:57 +0000 Bookish 425673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm only 8 weeks but I jiggled my leg like I do sometimes and my belly jiggled in the weirdest way. I can't even describe it but it was like OMG I *am* pregnant! There's something growing in there?! AAAGHH!? It was weeeeird 0_0 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-pregnancy-attacks#post-425648 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:51:57 +0000 aprk 425648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In so many ways, although starting with the word "panic." All hormonal and in my head though, it seems. My back has really started to ache badly in the last two days, but I'd take that physical pain over any mental thing at this point.</p> <p>Sorry about your ribs - sounds awful! Have you found any relief?</p> <p>And I totally agree ... I really never thought that pregnancy would be so uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-pregnancy-attacks#post-425614 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:38:37 +0000 Mrs. Blue 425614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had the worst right rib pain for two months, but don't seem to have any signs of major issues to blame it on--just terrible, someone is trying to pry my ribs apart with a crowbar pain anytime I sit for more than a few minutes...and I have a desk job. Super. </p> <p>For some reason today, I started thinking of that show "When Vacations Attack" and decided their should be a "When Pregnancy Attacks" show. Has pregnancy "attacked" you recently?</p> <p>ETA: Why do we never really understand how not fun pregnancy can be until we're actually in the middle of it?? </p>
