Hurting Everywhere!!

[Sept29th]

Okay am i just a big baby or what, my whole body is killing me, from my head to my feet, is this normal, it feels like everytthing is spreading if that makes sense, am i just being a baby because it is starting to hurt to even sit down i even have a little bit of "menstrual cramps" i'm 24 weeks pregnant as well. do i just need to go home and rest because i've had this bronchitis really bad?

I've noticed that if I get to coughing really bad (which bronchitis would cause), my ab muscles will hurt really bad, sort of like cramps. I would call your dr. just to make sure, in case it is signs of something more serious. Wish you the best!

i havent really been coughing today i've only coughed like 2 times since i've beeen at work, this is like my legs and back and very low on my abdomen. could the abdomen be braxton hicks?

I think it is probably a bit too early for those, you've got a while yet until the real contractions begin. I would definately rest, but I'd also let your doctor know about this. It could be something more serious. Back pain, breast pain, all normal..but..I don't think that you should be hurting as badly as you are, it doesn't exactly sound normal to me. Let us know.

Hey there!I know that Bronchitis can cause your whole body to ache,That's usually my first sign that I'm coming down with it!(especially lower back and behind your legs).As for if it could be braxton hicks,I just looked it up in my pregnancy bible "What to expect when expecting" and according to that you can experience "braxton hicks" anywhere after your 20th week!So,It could be that too!I had alot of those way before I had the baby..I thought I'd go early;Instead he was ten days late:)Good luck!I hope your feeling better soon!

p.s ~ the menstral cramp feeling could be you hips separating,seems to me that was around the time mine started and i had alot of pain associated with it:( just thought I'd add that in!

okay i feel like i'm calling my doctor every week nad i feel like they are getting annoyed, becaue i'm SO SICK of being sick that i call a lot, but hell i'm paying them 3 grand for this you think i'm allowed to call as much as i need to!! my husband keeps telling me not to worry about it. he said until i worry you shouldn't worry, but i still like to get advice from the womans int of view!! so thanks for all of your great advice.

the baby is still moving like normal but i'm getting worried that it's something that shouldn't be going on. mostly the back hurting and stomach cramps.

[jenn_0629]

I do think that it could be because you were sick, but I would call in as much as you feel necessary. Seriously, towards the beginning of my pregnancy, I would freak out if anything hurt..I went to the ER a few times, just for them to be like, "Well, we don't know. It could be this, maybe this, but we'll send you home anyways." So, I'd call and hound them until they gave me an answer. I mean, we are the only person that can nurture our babies while they are in the womb, so we need to know if something is not right.

yeah for sure, i talked to one of the nurses and she said that they will do a urine culture on monday at my next appointment, so i'm feeling a lot better. anyone that has had bronchitis does it make it so you can't talk for awhile? it makes me lose my voice a lot after i cough so hard. the nurse is fine with me calling as much as i have been, i've only been calling so much since i got this coughing crap!!

[fuzzy]

Yeah I Lose my voice from time to time and that's from the bronchitis;)THere is another girl that was asking about bronchitis and i told her about honey and lemon...You boil some water and put some honey and lemon juice in a coffee mug and drink it;it helps to soothe the throat and ease some coughing:)Good Luck!

i think it was me, i changed my name on here. but i'll go to the store tonight and get some lemon and try that, it sounds soothing!! thank you, i'll let you know how it goes.

[fuzzy]

No Problem! I'm telling you it really works:)

i'm just having trouble sleepeing mostly because of the leg cramps, and i'm getting scared because she hasn't moved much for 3 days, is it just me being a paranoid mother already?
