SO uncomfortable 😠(Rant)
Back story: naturally I’m 5ft and 100lbs I was born prematurely at 28 weeks so I’ve ALWAYS been petite and tiny. Today I’m 21 weeks and currently 106lbs. (FTM ALSO) My ribs are killing me on the sides and my sternum area. I feel like someone’s just pumping air into my stomach like a balloon until it explodes with all this pressure! My hips are so sore and when I try to get comfy in bed it’s like no matter what side I lay on my ribs hurt in five minutes and my skin just pulls to the side. When I lay on my back all the pain and pressure mainly is on my sternum and back. I’ve tried hot baths, rice bags, pregnancy pillows, yoga poses, Tylenol. I can’t do too much stretching or exercise because I have Vasa Previa and my doctor told me to take it very easy and I really don’t know what else to try. I’ve been absolutely miserable lately with all the aches and pains and I’m exhausted because I can’t get good sleep due to the pain. My boyfriend tries to understand but he doesn’t. He will rub my back or my hips whenever I ask but I hate keeping him up at night. I’m newly back to work so I’m not used to sitting in a chair for 8 hours at a computer desk so that’s even more strain on my hips and back as well. I have a memory foam thing to sit on that helps a little bit not much. Sorry for the rant but is anyone else this uncomfortable and finding ways to cope? I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point.
