Growing pains?

Asked Sep 29, 2006, 01:10 PM — 2 Answers
Can anyone remind me what the growing pains feel like. I am having dull aches on my left side. Occasionally it switches to the right, but mainly on the left. From what I can remember, this happened the first time too, but I also remember that I didn't drink enough water a lot too, so I had cramps from that too, and then I have my total paranoid side coming out with the whole " what if something is wrong?!" anywho, if anywho can give me some advice, if for nothing but to calm me down a little, I'd appreciate it. Also, I was at the chiropractor yesterday, and they put a heat pad on my back for a while. I took it off when it started getting hot though, because I remember that you aren't suppose to elevate your body temp too much. Could that have been bad? Could that have hurt my baby? Once again, I reiterate, I am very paranoid haha. Just been wanting this for so long, and......yeah.. But yeah, thanks to everyone who replies!

Okay, personally I think you should stop going to the chiropractor, unless your OB tells you that it is okay. You should do nothing right now without the consent of your OB.

It is advised that you stay away from heating pads during pregnancy, however, this one brief time will be no problem.

And, yes, those are growing pains!

You are fine. Getting pregnant was the hard part. Stress makes it hard to get pregnant, but stress can cause other problems during pregnancy. Just go with the flow!

Hey thanks for the advice. I am going because my tailbone is really messed up from labor with my son, and I just want to finish taking care of it before the next one comes, so I don't have to rebreak it(if its possible) the ob that I am looking into refers his patients to this chiro all the time I guess. Anyways, yeah these darn hormones just have me bouncing off the walls with all these different emotions, so forgive my paranoia. Thanks again!
