The Most Pregnant Ever...

Today, I will be 9weeks 5 days, and that's the longest I've ever been pregnant, though I still worry about the possibility of miscarriage. This is a bit of a milestone though, and one I have been waiting for. Today also marks 7 months exactly until my due date.

However, all day yesterday (Wednesday), I hurt - down in my lower abdomen and cervix. It's a really achy, burning kind of muscle pain, and my cervix really is sore, but it's generally sensitive. It's pretty painful, especially if I sit up for a while. I am trying to take it easy, but it's really uncomfortable.

It's not a severe/sharp pain, but more like really bad menstrual cramp type of pain, with a slight burn in the muscles, and not that long ago, it started spreading all the way up to my navel. I asked some of my friends about it on the board I hang out at and the general consensus is that it maybe a growth spurt kind of thing - the round ligaments growing and stretching with the baby. I just know that it's very uncomfortable, and I want to stop worrying about this baby.

I also feel icky with nausea and heartburn.... I want to feel better - I've got to clean my house, it's getting filthy. Though, hey, it should go without saying, that I will put up with this for 7 more months, if it means a healthy baby in the end... excuse me while I go take some more tums.

Congratulations! :)

I'm sorry you feel bad though. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I wish I lived close and I'd come clean for you. I know you don't feel like it, and I'm really good at that sort of thing. lol

*hugs*

I'm feeling a little better today. I took out the trash and walked up to the mailbox - and that is a bit more impressive than it sounds, since we live rurally, and not in the city, so it wasn't like walking to the end of the driveway or something.

I am one of those people who refuses to have company when the house is messy though. It completely squicks me. I'd probably be one of those lunatics who cleaned the house before the maid come over, you know... lol.

I wish you did live closer, though, we could hang and go to the movies together. Thanks for always cheering me up.

I'm glad you're feeling better! :)

Oh, I understand that. We live rurally, too, and it's about a quarter of a mile to the mailbox. So my little brother gets the mail every day. LOL I'm too lazy to walk even that in 100 degree heat. ;)

LOL Yeah, I'm not too crazy about having a messy house either. I'm a clutter collector, so about the only time I clean like crazy is when someone's coming over.

That would be cool! The thing about the 'net is everyone's so far away.

ginger biscuits - cookies i guess you call them, help with the nausea. As does eating something small before you get up.
and ready salted or plain crisps, chips i think the US term is, help with cramped muscles. I used to get leg cramps a lot with my 3, so something salty before sleeping helped there.
hubby says don't worry about the messy house... he claims mine is never tidy. It is, just by the time he gets home the kids have trashed it again lol. Serioulsy ignore the house for now, just take care of yourself.
