On the not-really-positive-but-we-can-pretend-it's-positive side, if you get it a lot near the end you get so used to it that you can actually keep walking (in a kind of frenetic drug-addicted homeless person way). If you're lucky you may get it alternating with knife-like head butts to the bladder and cervix from your little cutie pie. Aaaaah. Men have no idea.<br /><br />And yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all worth it.mjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159476032060692901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-62573936410381652142010-06-24T10:52:46.668-06:002010-06-24T10:52:46.668-06:00Maybe it's a boy.

Sit on an ice bag. As for your bowels not moving, this is very common in pregnancy. Stop taking prenatal vitamins and switch to a Flintstone or similar child vitamin. It's the iron that makes you constipated. But then remember to eat iron rich foods along with Vitamin C. C helps iron absorbtion and iron from food sources is easier for the pregnant body to handle. Then, take a stool softener like Colace, or generic equvaltent, at night before you go to bed or with your dinner. Remember to drink lots of water though. Water helps the colace work right. I promise it will help.<br /><br />And there you go, advice from a total stranger and pregnancy graduate.

It was PRETTY made - like a REALLY intense, neverending contraction - apparently the babe was bouncing on a nerve or something like that.

But there is no showing. And there is no weird nerve-age. Maybe I'm not really pregnant after all.<br /><br />Or maybe I'm the one with a non-human inside of me.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248348740599788697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-89608148809554613022010-06-23T14:28:12.087-06:002010-06-23T14:28:12.087-06:00This is also The Week In Which You Should Post a P...This is also The Week In Which You Should Post a Picturejerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334193146809678214noreply@blogger.com
