Whoa what a week!

I am officially 10 1/2 weeks and had a hell of a week! On Tuesday I was having some abdominal cramping and shooting pains in places I did not want to have shooting pains (I couldn't sit down...) So I called midwife's office and they told me to come in. I had my sister in law drive me because I don't think I would of made it there myself. My urine tested negative but when Tammy was pressing on right side near ovary I clenched in pain. She said there was alot of fullness on the right side and it could be a cyst or possibly an additional ectopic pregnancy in my tube (due to fertility meds) I was terrified. I thought "No this can;t be happening" She immediately sent me to get a sonogram to make sure baby OK and check for any masses in ovary and tubes. I was hoping my next sonogram was going to be a pleasurable experience with Scott there to enjoy the moment. No- I was by myself in an office with people that I didn't know and scared to death in pain. I asked the nurse if she saw baby- she said yes and she showed me the screen and we saw the heartbeat. Whew! Then she was scanning my ovaries and tubes- she couldn't tell me anything but I thought everything looked OK (from what I could see). The Dr. came into the room after the sonogram and said he didn't see any masses and they everything looks normal. Whew. I was still hurting but felt better knowing baby was OK and that I wasn't going to lose a tube! I got a new pic of the baby (it looks like a baby almost!) and went home to rest.

About 8:30-9:00 I was in such excruciating pain I couldn't handle it. I was getting sharp pains all over and they were so bad I was just yelling in pain. I knew something wasn't right and with my past history of bowel obstruction I knew I had to do something. Scott drove me to ER and they gave me exams and told me I had impacted bowel. They sent me home with enema and when we got back home I honestly thought I was going to die. I collapsed on the kitchen floor as soon as I managed to get in and crawled my way to the bathroom to try and relieve the pain. It worked at first- then I tried to sleep- didn't work. I was up every hour in such pain and agony. At one point I was swaying back and forth- numb all over, dripping sweat,telling Scott "I'm going to pass out" It was the most frightening feeling I ever felt. i don't know what happened...

I start to get chest pains on the right side and it felt like a pinched nerve so as soon as 8am Wed. rolled around I call Family Dr. to get an appointment. We went there and I cut in front of about 6 people because the office staff knew I was in some major pain. Dr. said stomach pains are from gas probably due to pre natal pills and he wasn't sure about chest pains but he will draw blood to check gall bladder (haven;t got those results back yet) He told me to eat liquids so we can "get things moving" So thats what I did and today is Friday and I feel about 80% back to normal. i stopped taking the pre natals I was taking so I can get back on track. I'm just happy I can stand up straight and not need help to get up anymore.... I NEVER want to live through that again. (Especially without and drugs to make the pain go away)

OK back to good news. I am almost 11 weeks which means I am almost 12 weeks which means 2nd trimester here I come! I hope all the great things I hear about 2nd trimester are true for me too (mainly the extra energy and feeling great!)

OK here's my 10 week sonogram (not getting another one until beginning of June now)

I also made a side by side comparison...
