hi ladies, sorry to bump into your thread but ihave a few questions for those of you that may have recentyl given birth naturally.
i am in the jan 2011 groups and currently 33 weeks preggie with #3. first birth was natural and second was c-section.
listen, tonight i really bumped my big tum right in the middle going across my belly button on the back of the couch. my 15mth old daughter did a split-second twist and began falling off the couch backwards. she would've hit the coffee table with the back of her head. i managed to lean over the couch and grab her as she began falling and i pulled her right over (all of 13kg) the couch to me and i put her on the floor. i instantly fell to my haunches and burst into tears from the pain on my tum. it went hard instantly.
this was 2 hours ago. i now feel llike i have period pain - in lower back and 'up there' accompanied by nausea.
i have not suffered with any pain whatsoever throughout this pregnancy, except for kidneys, which are fine right now. i have noticed really strong BH contractions thta orignate at the lower part of my tum and then move right through the entire abdomen and end with twinges in my cervical area. these pains have been pretty regular in the last two hours. i have been keeping busy in my son;s new-room-to-be so ihave not actually timed the pains. i don;t want ot make a big thing about this.
DH is a paramedic and he is on duty tonight so he is not here.
anina, you just went through a natural birth... do these symptoms sound like i should be serious about them, or do you think i should ignore them as such. can you ask meags about this too?
i am so not a 'paranoid' mom-to-be at all, but i am slightly worried as it was really sore, that i kid you not.
thanks a million xxx
