Idk if pregnancy comes with insomnia or if it’s the pain but I’ll wake up early mornings take a 30 minutes to hour nap durning the day or after work and won’t be able to go back to sleep. I just lay awake with my lower back and right hip in aching pain. Anyone else have this problem?

Let’s talk Fibroids…. (15 weeks pregnant) I start having unbearable lower abdomen pain and lower back pain. Aware I could have stretching pain I knew I’d have to get past this…. 5 days later, 2 ER visits and multiple calls to my doctors office and extreme pain I finally find out I have a 7cm fibroid and due to pregnancy the fibroid has become inflamed. Funny story is.. they can’t or won’t give pain meds. The only relief I can get from the pain is an anti inflammatory that doc rarely gives and if given I can only be once during the entire pregnancy and for only a 48 hr period.

So, I found out when I was pregnant with my second daughter that I have two fibroids. I wasn’t told the size I was only told “small” but I know they couldn’t have been there long because they weren’t there with my first. So, my question, is what symptoms do you have? I get symptoms now around my cycle and I’m curious if the fibroids could be causing them

Limit dairy, soy, red meats, alcohol and gluten. These contribute to inflammation and xenoestrogen production which will contribute to fibroid growth. There aren’t too many natural remedies that we can use during pregnancy but you got this! I went to the ER for the same reason at 5 weeks, we will get through this 💪🏾

I'm not sure on how far along iam but my HCG levels are 998, I started bleeding on the 19th went to ER had a transvaginal done, they say theyre isn't any evidence of intrauterine pregnancy, I'm currently still bleeding like my period but not pain. I was directed to have my levels checked to see if they progress or get worse. Has this happened to anyone else and maybe still go on to have a normal pregnancy?

I was kind of the same but my levels were 14,400 ish and I had symptoms of a threatened abortion. I went in for another transvaginal ultrasound and more blood work done a couple days later and my HCG levels had decreased to about 13,200 so they did confirm I had another miscarriage. I am worried you might have already passed the fetus if they didn't see it in there but maybe it's just too early to tell and it's just around the time of the month you'd usually have your period. I hope everything goes well though.

They told me that I didn't have any evidence of an intrauterine pregnancy before. I soon found out that I had an ectopic pregnancy. And with those HCG levels can be lower than normal.

I'm 36 weeks today and have period cramps along with inner thigh pain, pain in my tail bone but its not severe or anything is this just something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my pregnancy or does that mean labor is starting to set into motion?

It means the baby is getting lower doesn’t necessarily mean labor is starting. I randomly get those sharp butt pains and im always sore between my legs

Okay I need help So I’m 38 +1 and I had the “bloody show” a couple days ago and contacted my doctor. I have no idea if I’m feeling real contractions or not. When I had my period before pregnancy I had abnormally strong period cramps and I have a super high pain tolerance. I’ve had cramping and back pain the last couple days but it doesn’t feel like I’m in severe pain so I’m confused. I need help asap cause I don’t want to wait too long before I go in😭

Best thing to do is time the cramps and pain. Is it irregular or regular and getting stronger and closer together if u already know you have a high pain tolerance you could be in early labor and somewhat dilated. Best bet is probably to get checked if you wanna know for sure (and risk getting sent home because its too early) otherwise stay at home and labor for as long as you can until it becomes unbearable. It's up to you and your goals and you know your body best :)
