Worried and Afraid

To whoever is reading this thank you for your time. I am 6 weeks pregnant. In the past year I have had laparoscopic surgery and a D&C to remove 6 polyps found in my cervix. I had a cysts the size of a softball and was going into my Dr. for a pre-op. Thank God they did an ultrasound because that's how they found out I was pregnant. I have a 3cm cysts on one side now and 5 others on the other. I started feeling rough for a week. Breast pain and very fatigied. I am now laying in the floor typing this because I have had continuing period like cramps, back pain that feels like my tail bone is being pulled out. It's radiation down to the point I can feel it in my toes. It never ends. I've done stretches, yoga, tylonel, essential oils, anything I think could help and be safe and have cole of empty handed. I have had zero bleeding but something tells me everything is not okay, I'm not happy or excited which I've always prayed I could have a child but depressed. If anyone has any information I would be forever grateful. Sorry for the book, I'm just lost. Thanks again so much for your time and God bless you and your babies, future babies and babies on the way.

Also trust your gut. If you think something is wrong, get it checked out.

I have fibroids so I get it. It's like carrying multiples. I am 8 weeks now with my 2nd. What has helped (take the edge off at least) for me were prenatal massage and putting the hot tub down to 99 degrees and spending 15 min a night in there. It was okayed by my OB. I tried physical therapy but that didn't help much.

I gave had laparoscopic surgery to remove a fibroid and an abdominal myomectomy to remove the rest. Trust when I say that no matter what the doctor tells you, you will have some scar tissue. As your hormones increase and your child grows, you will feel pain in the first 13 weeks that you didn't know existed. Your body is growing and stretching to accommodate new blessings, sadly you must endure. What worked for me was a recliner, peppermint tea, ice packs, lots of relaxing, and lots of pillows. I thought women were lying about the pillows, nope, pillows are your best friends. I lay  with 6 every chance I get.

But I must also say, relax. Your child can feel stress and they don't like it. So during your first 13 weeks, please relax your body as much as you can and put your feet up, as long as you are not bleeding heavily you in fairly decent shape. If you are still concerned do what I did, and ask for an ultrasound, it will her allay fears.

Pregnancy hormones and all the changes in your body probably account for you not feeling happy or excited and can bring on depression. I have had bouts of depression throughout my pregnancy, yet there is nothing I want more and I've found it hard to be excited and positive. The worry of the pain and your condition doesn't help either. I agree with previous comments - best to talk to your doctor about the pain but also about the depression, as its best to deal with these things as soon as you can. I hope things improve for you and that you have a good family and friends to help you x

I'm so sorry you're in pain.  Try heating pad or soak in tub.  Epsom salt always helps me.  You have to add a lot to the bath water.  Hang in there!
