Officially Uncomfortable....

Well I am officially uncomfortable! lol... I was wondering when that would happen. I've gone this whole pregnancy without any issues, discomfort, etc. and BAM last night I was woken out of a dead sleep doubled over in pain.

At first it just felt like I REALLLLY had to pee... (TMI alert) You know the kind where you have to go so bad it hurts. So I waddle to the bathroom and sit on the toilet for literally 20 minutes with only a couple dribbles of pee... I did end up pooping though and thought "well maybe that was the issue" but nope... While I was pooping it hurt like hell. And it was really soft so it shouldn't have hurt... But my whole lower abdomen, back and even vajayjay was hurting like crazy while sitting there.

So I waddle back to bed and get on my hands and knees in bed. I was hoping maybe that would help with some of the pressure I was feeling on my bladder and colon and vajayjay, but in retrospect I think it made it worse. So I sit like that for about an hour just moaning and groaning.

Paul was so sweet though. He woke up, got me some water, took the dog out, rubbed my back for me. Then he suggested putting the head phones (mozart, beethoven, pachebel) on my belly for the baby - we do this quite often and the baby seems to find it relaxing. So I flop over on my left side and he gets the headphones all set up. I don't know if it was the position change, or the baby moved a little because of the music, but I was able to fall asleep.

I was noticing that the pain (very sharp, stabbing pain right around my pubic bone) never really went away, but got worse about every 5 minutes for a minute or so... Was this contractions? I thought contractions started at the top and worked down, I never felt any discomfort or pain at the top, but right along my pubic bone.

I wasn't worried about the baby because through most of this I felt it moving around and stuff... I think if the baby would have been totally still I would have been more worried and gone to the ER or something. But I didn't... Paul kept asking if I wanted to go to the hospital and of course I didnt. Lol... i don't want to be labled one of those crazy pregnant ladies that goes in there and they don't find anything wrong by the nurses... Ya'll know what I'm talking about! lol... So I didn't go to the hospital.

I'm wondering if the pain and pressure (which is new) was the baby dropping/engaging? The stabbing, sharp pain has gone away. And sometimes I'm feeling a dull pain there, but there is a constant pressure now... It constantly feels like I have to pee or poop now. And I never really had that before... Of course I go to pee and one little drip comes out lol... My vajayjay hurts a lot, not really internally, but just hurts. And my butt hole hurts a lot too... Weird I know!

I think I'm going to call the midwife office tomorrow and talk to them about it. Maybe see if I can go in and see them just to make sure everything is okay. I really don't want to go to the hospital, they say everythings fine, can't tell me what's wrong, and then we have an extra hospital bill... When I can just go to the midwife. But like I said, baby is still moving around, so I'm not really worried about that... Just wondering if baby dropped/engaged and that's what I felt last night and am now feeling the pressure of... Hmmmm....
