Sorry to be so blunt...but why is my Tootie hurting? LOL

[prayerful wife]

I just had to put it out there like that ladies, sorry!

The hubby and I havent had sex in months b/c he's so scared he's going to send me into pre-term labor.  I told that man to get real.  He's gifted but get over himself, it aint trimmed in platnum! (SMILE)

Right now the pain is so bad that it's stopping me in my tracks.  I cant even walk upright.  I remind myself of Harry and the Hendersons!  It's not cramping or sharpness.  It flat out hurts to the point that I have to keep my legs apart.  (How I got pg in the 1st place huh?) LOL!  Bascially I feel really sore down there.  Could that be a sign that I'm dialating more?  I havent done this in 7yrs so I truly dont remember.

I have a doc's appt Monday morning, and I refuse to go back to L&D after begging my OB to let me go home.  The next time I see the hospital l plan to have a head coming out!

Unhonestly yall I'm so hard headed....b/c I know now that the baby's lungs are developed I've been walking and drinking plenty of water.  I know that may sound unfair and Chancellor needs to stay in there to cook for as long as possible.  But I still have to take me into consideration and truth is I'm hurting.  I'm tired, I feel full all the time, the OB told me my uterus is basically at capacity and that's why I keep going into preterm labor.  I just need my body back.  Ive been so unfair to my other kids; not being able to do things for them and take them places and it's time for things to get back to normal.  My youngest was born at 30wks and came home a week later.  So if Chance is born betwn 33-34wks I think he'll be just fine knowing what I already know.

hey I'm right there with ya :o) I feel so swollen in that area when I bend down I grimace because it hurts... I put a pillow between my legs even when I am sitting upright to take the pressure off ... awee the joys of pregnanacy

I've heard that the baby dropping can cause BAD pain in your "area" lol so I agree with loismwallace

[loismwallace]

Since you are already dialating and now almost 33 wk it could be the time is nearing. I mean they have had to stop your contractions now, twice right? Girl you better not domino before me....lol

It's possible that your lil man has dropped. I read today that it can start as early as 32 wks. You better keep us posted. Carry that lap top with you....lol

I am 18w5d and sore down there too, and a bit swollen. Not to worry... it's just another one of the not-so-pleasant pregnancy issues! If you are closer to your delivery date I would discuss it w/your doctor in the next day or two just to make sure (or call a nurse at your clinic who is on call)... best wishes to you! :)

as far as i know its normal. im only 18 weeks and my "tootie" hurts occasionally as well. sometimes if even gets swollen. this happened during my first pregnancy as well. sometimes it stops me dead in my tracks... and i have to walk with my legs apart. i happens a couple times a week. hopefully its normal... lol, i dont see my doc again for a couple weeks. let me know what your doc says about it
