How uncomfortable is your pregnancy?

Question

Hey ladies, I am just wondering, for a high risk pregnancy, for various reasons, on a scale of 1-10 how uncomfortable are you physically and mentally? I just feel like I have had so much discomfort since day 1. And now I was taken out of work, I have good and bad days but nights seems to be the hardest. Im just trying to guage how uncomfortable everyone is. I would say for me on a good day 7 physically and 8 emotionally. On a bad day maybe a 5 both physically and mentally.

Answer

My stress and anxiety is easily a 8-10 every day and my pain varies from a 5-9. I had an emergency cerclage last week and between the epidural, catheter, surgery, and 3 day hospital stay I am feeling really sore and miserable. What do you ladies do to help the body aches? I'm not allowed to take a bath, see a chiropractor, or get a massage because I'm on strict pelvic bedrest and a heating pad and ice pack only do so much!

Answer

I'm at 8 all day every day. For reference I had an emergency spinal fusion with titanium and donor bone when I was paralyzed 3 years ago with a spinal cord injury. Waking up from that surgery, cut open across my belly and down my spine- that was the only time in my life I've ever been at 10. During that 37 day hospital stay and 4 surgeries in that time, I went into shock multiple times from the pain. I fainted and vomited from that pain. I couldn't speak. That was a 10 for me.

Just walking to the bathroom right now, has me trembling and crying at an 8. My pubic symphysis has split apart, I have 2 ribs out of place and the pain in my spine from being pregnant is really hard to handle. This is the only baby we get to have. After the birth, they'll be binding my hips and keeping me immobile for 2 weeks. When I'm ready, they'll fuse my pelvis with titanium screws. All of it is worth it to get to be a mom, but it has been traumatic and horribly painful.

Answer

9. Some days a 10, some days an 8. I have blood pools outside my uterus and in my uterine walls which makes my entire belly feel like a really deep bruise. It can't be touched without pain. My weekly ultrasound is super not fun. :/ 6 more weeks.... We can make it.

Answer

Im in pain so im about an 8 id put that there and im not getting any sleep and i think we think im having a miscarriage pregnant with twins hoping this pain passes and theyre both fine..prayers please💙💜

Answer

Right now I'm pretty low ranking for physically, although I hear my pregnancy will be especially uncomfortable since I'm only working with half of a uterus. Emotionally I would say an 8 or 9 😞 I tend to worry a lot.

Answer

How far along are you?  My last pregnancy I felt sick from the time I had sex until it ended in miscarriage in the second trimester. I had low hcg at first,  terrible morning sickness and constantly in the hospital for dehydration.  I had a subchorionic hemorrhage and cyst they were monitoring weekly.  I was in pelvic rest and bed rest and still ended up miscarrying. This pregnancy is still early but my levels look better than last time and I feel much better as well but am so considered high risk so I think it just depends on the particular pregnancy.

Answer

T- how are you doing? Is baby still doing good? I have my first appointment tomorrow since my surgery last week. I've been having extreme back pain today which I'm praying isn't back labor ugh! I would love to stay updated with you since we seem to be in such similar positions.

Answer

The only part that makes this prefer uncomfortable is the fact I can't really play with my kids like I want to because I get tired easily and doing to much starts contractions..
