But why does it hurt so much?... (Continued from issue 25)

John Braxton Hicks is the physician that the contractions also called “false labor” is named after. 100 years before I was even born, John described the uterine contractions that supposedly prepare the mother for the real labor pains.

I am not sure if they were supposed to prepare me for labor pains, but I do know that when I was a freshman in college, I experienced these incredible pains in my stomach area that basically bent me over in pain with what felt like I got kicked in the stomach by a horse.

I bet you are thinking, “What does this have to do with being pregnant?”

What number am I up to now?

Keep stress levels low because I am pregnant but…

First, I had the morning sickness which was stressful.

Second, there was all the talk of the world coming to an end due to Y2K.

Third, I was bleeding vaginally.

Fourth, MS made me a paraplegic.

Fifth, my heart rate went above 200 beats per minute.

Sixth, my husband had to be called back to the hospital because the doctors wanted to STOP MY HEART!!!!!

Seventh, my baby could die so we could save my life!

Eighth, why am I still in the hospital?

Ninth, complications for the baby just to do a test?

Tenth, waiting for the results from that radioactive isotope test!

Eleventh, what’s in the bag?

Twelfth, Oranges and needles?

Thirteenth, Do I have diabetes too?

Fourteenth, MS confirmed?

Fifteen, MS confirmed!!! How?

Sixteen, Call Mom to help?

Seventeen, How’s the baby doing?

Eighteen, What’s this pain I keep feeling?

Nineteen, Was I kicked by a horse?

Ok, so I have never been kicked by a horse, but I was hit in the stomach by a soccer ball that was kicked by a boy a very short distance away from me. That experience was nothing compared to the pains I was feeling during that time in college.

When I was in college, I kept experiencing these incredible pains after eating. I thought maybe I just need to have a bowel movement or just make myself throw up to make the pain go away.

But neither of those things worked. The pain just kept getting worse. I was living in the dorm rooms at college, so I went to my resident assistant and asked for help.

She immediately called campus security to take me to the hospital.

Hospitals and I are not strangers.

I was taken to the hospital, but they wouldn’t do anything to get rid of the pain until they determined I WASN’T Pregnant!

That was the first time I ever took a pregnancy test, but because I was in the hospital they did it by taking a blood sample.

After it was determined I wasn’t pregnant, they took an x-ray of my stomach to see if there was blockage. When the doctor came to my bedside to give me the results, he determined that I was F.O.S.

F.O.S. stands for Full of S***!

Was he saying that I was faking it?

No, what he was saying is that my bowels were full and to simply take a laxative.

WHAT?!?!

I went through 9 months of hospital visits before I found a doctor to took the time to determine the cause of these excruciating pains.

It was determined that these pains that felt like I was getting kicked by a horse were caused by Gallstones!

I had Gallstones at 18 years old!

What caused the pains was the gallstones blocking the bile ducts from doing their job of dumping the bile into my digestive system.

I was told by a female nurse after I had my Gall Bladder removed, that the pains I felt were worse than labor pains.

Oh, back to #19 – I felt like I was being kicked by a horse again, but I knew that it wasn’t my gall bladder because I don’t have one of those anymore.

Heartburn was an hourly occurrence. I was eating TUMS like they were candy.

This kick came from the inside, the baby was kicking me really hard into my ribs and into my bladder plus those Braxton Hicks contractions. This was the beginning of my eighth month of pregnancy.

What’s next?

Back to that in the next newsletter…
