Pregnancy problems. Can anyone relate?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and 2 days. I been experiencing round ligament pain, back pain, drowsiness (tiredness), nose bleeding, and insomnia. Then you often think about if your baby is healthy, if what you're expecting is abnormal, whether or not your baby has a birth deflect... :|

What are your pregnancy problem ladies? what have you experience?

Note: I'm not asking if my symptoms are normal or not. Just ranting about my experience with pregnancy. but thank you all for commenting about it.

Situation normal. I take it this is your first baby?
My question is why have you put this in rant? It would have been better placed in the Health and wellness forum surely so as to be of support to new and experienced mum's.
Just saying
Hope your pregnancy goes well and everything is as it should be for you and little one.

Thankfully, no.

Pregnancy hormones can wreak havoc on your body, causing joint pain, bone pain, muscle pain etc. Seems like you're having a normal pregnancy but if you're worried call your nurse or OB... they're used to being called for every little thing. It's better to put your mind at ease.

I cannot say it is from lack of trying.

a reply to: Kali74yes, I know what I am having is normal. thanks for the comment

Have a think about seeing a Reflexologist in your area who has been trained in pregnancy treatment. Works wonders for your symptoms and will help baby be relaxed too.
Failing that somebody who practices Reiki.
Hope that helps.

When I was pregnant, my pelvic bone was utterly rooted. Could barely lift my legs to get clothed, resorted to dresses when I'm a jeans person, took forever to get out of bed, heaven forbid if I rolled over and faced the wall in my sleep! That just added another 20 odd minutes to getting out of bed! Stairs were a disgrace, how dare those things existed. And then the checkups with the midwives. Poking and prodding my pelvic bone. It HURTS, you nutcases! It would click as I walked, every step painful.

And then there was the time I wanted to cook up some eggs for breakfast. Dropped an egg, cried for an hour.

Good times.

Your body is supporting a second human being, meaning that the wee one is taking most of the nutrients, minerals, and proteins from you for him/herself.

It's not unusual for a women to develop various health issues during a pregnancy. Some of these only last through the duration of the pregnancy, some will last a lifetime (diabetes, thyroid problems, new allergies, autoimmune problems, iron/vitamin deficiences, etc etc).

But all of the symptoms you are battling through are perfectly normal except for the nosebleeds, that's a first for me. I'd be asking my ObGyn about that one, and what might be causing it.

Carrying around another lifeform in your body is no easy task and this is why it's vitally important to go to your regular checkups so that the doctors can keep track of both yours and the baby's health throughout the whole process.

It didn't seem to go too well for John Hurt either.

I am a man and I thank God for that after reading your post.

a reply to: CranialSpongeI read that it's normal for pregnant women to experience nose bleeds but it could mean from my anemia causing nose bleeds but my doctor stated that i'm only slightly anemic and there is no big worry.
I been taking prenatal vitamins and minerals.

a reply to: kaelcithat sounds terrible OwO

a reply to: CaptainHook

With regards to the nose bleeds, I was thinking you might have an iron deficiency going on.

You definitely need to ask you doctor about that one, it's quite possible that the prenatal supplements aren't giving you enough of what your body is needing.
