I've been reading up a lot of pregnancy lately and apparently this exhaustion is normal. I am out like a light by 9:30pm each night. Of course, I wish I could *STAY* asleep.
I awoke at 2:30am last night from intense cramping. Why oh why had I never known that early pregnancy could lead to such intolerable pain? I mean, I always knew about the un- comfort of the uterus while it stretches, but I am at barley 5weeks.
So I tried to avoid medication, and rushed to the restroom. If I empty my bowels, the pain usually subsides a bit ( TMI I know). I decided to lay on the cold bathroom floor because that seems to help my back and tummy. I fell asleep in there twice yesterday.
After peeling myself off the floor, I took a Tylenol and went to sleep in bed. I felt better until the alarm rang at 6am.
It seems as though my husband doesn't really notice my a.m. travels. His sleep in pain-free and lovely.
Lucky him.
We're the ones that have to suffer. I think it's because women are built to withstand more pain than men. If men had to go through period cramping and labor, they would be basket cases.
What gets me through the pain is knowing that the nurse said that it is normal. As long as it's normal, I'll live.
More than anything I'm worried about the ultrasound next week. I just want to know that the pregnancy is in the uterus- and not an ectopic. As long as they are positioned in the right place, I will sleep safe and sound.
Freudian slip- I just wrote *they* as though I am having two.
I mean, I might be right?
Twins would be a blessing especially for someone with fertility problems- kill two birds with one stone.
But I feel that a person cant give twins the proper attention that you can give to one. I don't ever want to withhold any love or attention from my children.
Tomorrow's blood test will determine when my sono will be.
I am nervous.
