For the past couple days, I have had a sharp pain on my left side, usually towards the end of the day after I have been on my feet all day at work. Last night, after walking up and and down the mall, I held my belly as I walked to my car because it ached. Didn't post about it last night because I thought it was maybe from walking so much, but then this morning I still had it pretty bad. Rather than doing what my smart friend GFF did, I went to work and have suffered all day. I haven't called my doctor because I have some ideas of what it could be, and I am having an ultrasound Monday anyway. I am wondering if it's because I have slept on my right side EVERY night since James has been gone, and they say to spend equal amounts of time on both the right and the left for the sake of your ligaments. Also, I have something called spastic colon, which means that my colon spasms for no reason, and it hurts like hell. It generally happens on the left. My doctor said that someday when I became pregnant, it could get worse from the pressure on my abdomen, but so far so good, until now. It could also be that.
Little one is fine though. I have felt her wiggling all day, and last night, even during the pain, I could see my tummy twitching as she kicked me. She wanted to say hello I think and let me know that she was doing just fine. :-)
I plan to take it east tonight. And I'll have the hubby home to snuggle with. :-)

Posted by: girl from florida at December 2, 2005 08:11 PMHey there, I had like a billion bizarre aches and pains, the worst of which was severe heartburn in my last 3 weeks, so bad that I had to sleep at a 45deg angle with loads of pillows. I also developed wierd pains in my ribs because my ligaments were stretching so badly - great time to try the splits, but of course you can't get up again once you're down there.
Posted by: Valkyrie at December 3, 2005 03:12 AMYeah, there are so many aches and pains during pregnancy. It could be your round ligaments, although I don't know. I had *horrible* rib pain on my right side, and it totally freaked me out. But it went away after giving birth. I'm sure that you're absolutely fine. At least you'll get to talk to your doctor about it on Monday. You could be going through a growth spurt ~ it would be around the right time for that.
