Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Pain. I'm trying to stay calm.

Other than my "morning" sickness, I've felt fine all day. Felt fine until dinner was over. When I got up from dinner I felt like my entire lower abdomen/uterus was severely strained. (Like my abs used to feel the day after I would over do it on sit-ups.)

I had a lot of round ligament pain (RLP) with my son and have already started having some with this pregnancy, and to-date all of my RLP has been sharp short lasting pain associated with quick movement.

An hour later and this strained muscle sensation is still pretty severe.  Not so bad that I can't walk or function, but bad enough that all I really want to do is stay in bed. I'm hoping this could just be some form of RLP I've never experienced.  After all, there is a lot of stretching that needs to happen.  I've formed what I think is a reasonable plan:  drink a lot of water tonight, stay off my feet, go to bed early, and call my doctor in the morning if I'm still having this pain.

I don't want to overreact, but I'll be honest, I'm sort of freaking out.
