Man, its been kind of rough for me. I go through spurts of really bad constipation and then days of nothing but diarrhea and vomiting and feeling dehydrated and dizzy and just freaking exhausted!! Yesterday I had a terrible day. I woke up with severe cramping and immediately was worried that it was pregnancy cramping and hadn't really felt the baby moving. I had been up for most of the night before going to the bathroom every few minutes and just being miserable. I called my OB doc and it just seemed like I was dehydrated as that can cause uterine contractions/cramping.

I'm just kind of tired of having all these stupid gassy/crampy/constipation/diarrhea days! It seems like lately they've just been feeling worse b/c my belly is getting bigger and its just generally uncomfortable!

ugh. Everything is great with baby though, she is back to kicking up a storm and training for the olympics :)
 
Manzy.....just wait until you have a screaming baby to feed, diapers to change etc while running to the loo.....lol...sorry - couldn't resist....it IS worth it in the end! Trust me!!!!!

Hope you get to feeling better soon - glad the little one is back to training...hehe.....have you had the 'alien' visible yet? That was one of the wildest things when I was pregnant.....

Vent and complain away...that is what we are here for!!!
 
LOL I know paso! I can only imagine how much more exhausted I will be when she gets here! Fortunately though, the husband can help out with a lot of that part. This whole prego thing he's kind of at a loss for me :) He's been trying very hard to make things easier on me.

It is so weird!!! She's been doing the alien thing so much lately. It's weird seeing your whole belly move around like crazy. I haven't been able to actually see like a foot sticking out or anything like that, but you can really see my stomach moving around and things like that. It's really neat, but completely weird at the same time!

I know it will all be worth it! I am ready for her to get here. I am sure I will feel better soon, its just been really up and down with me this whole time and like I said, it just feels like my bad days are so much worse now with having this big belly being uncomfortable and then my intestines all achy and stuff.
 
Hope you're feeling better! I can imagine how exhausting it must be to have Crohn's AND be pregnant! Hang in there and take good care of yourself. I'm glad to hear that all is well with the baby!
