Last night "Little Miss Dragonfly" dropped down approx 5cm (as in she has gone from having her knees up against my bottom ribs to having them mostly level with my belly button).
At the same time the lower backache I had been experiencing all day got extremely painful and started to radiate up my back and around my hips, and I suddenly couldn't eat (we were having dinner at the time) without feeling nauseous.
According to hubby and our neighbour (we were over at our neighbours place for a bbq) the moment I became nauseous I went dead white, and not long afterwards I developed a bad heachache and felt really light headed and dizzy.
I had a bath which helped a bit with the backache until I had to get out, and took a couple of panadol which helped take the edge off it a bit.
All last night I had trouble sleeping, my hips, back and pelvis ache, "Little Miss" is still sitting very low and *TMI* when I examined myself down there earlier I could *feel* her head through the wall of my v-jay-jay.
I'm still all achy today, though not as bad as last night, and I'm just wondering if I should be worried or not?
If you are going through a Private OB, ring the rooms or if you are going through MW care at the Hospital I'd be ringing the hospital you are booked into and let them know what you are experiencing, word for word what you have just typed.
They may want you to come in to check how things are going. I would think you would be on 2wk appt's by now, so worth checking just to put your mind at ease.
Babyluv - She still moves quite a lot, but I have noticed over the past few days that her movements haven't been as strong as normal, eg. not as many really huge THUMPS like I've become used to getting. My OB and the middies that I see won't be in until wednesday, so I'd have to call maternity and talk to them, which would make it the 3rd phone call relating to regular cramping in 7 weeks now.
Heather72 - I'm not on the 2wk ones yet this time, which is a bit odd as I was with DS and as this pregnancy is high risk I would have thought they'd be more worried. Next OB appointment is on the 19th, and the next mw one is 3 weeks after that, so currently 3-weekly until 36wks and then it becomes weekly.
The cramping is dying off now, so it might have just been BH or caused by "Little Miss" still being Posterior. I think I'll take it easy for the rest of today and reassess it all tonight as it could also be my irritable uterus playing up too.
I should be used to all of this by now after all the emergency trips I had with DS because of the irritable uterus and BHs that pretended to be the real thing, but it still scared the crud out of me every time it happens.
hope everything settles down. I would be checking with the m/w just for peace of mind I think. Dont worry about calling them a lot, they are there to take care of you.
I am with the others on this, it MAY not be anything to be worried about but I like to be on the side of caution. There is no harm in getting checked out and would strongly recommend it.
Should I be worried?
