I'm only 22 weeks pregnant with this little one, but I feel like I'm 38 weeks along. I'm not complaining about my pregnancy pains because I feel blessed to carry this little girl, but this is more out of concern and logging all that has happened.
My tummy/pelvic area have been so uncomfortable since about 16 weeks. I get sharp pains, pinching, and pressure, but figured she was laying weird or digging a foot into my pelvis. So I've went about my business like normal. Last week, I had a day where I could not walk without a sharp pain on one side of my low abdomen and back, so I taught my classes sitting. Good thing I teach older kids and can just work the problems sitting on my stool with the use of my ELMO. Again, didm't think much of it.
This weekend, I decided I had to get back into going to the gym so Saturday I went and walked briskly for 30 minutes with hills on the treadmill and then did some lower body weights. I was sore for the rest of the day. My lower abdomen, vagina, and back were sore/painful. I figured, it has to do with the work out and my body hasn't had to do anything in months. I went back to the gym Sunday to work out the soreness. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then lifted weights. The elliptical felt much better because I didn't have as much pressure bouncing on my pelvis. As the day went on, the soreness/pain got worse. Yes, I'm definitely taking it easy with my workouts. I'm not pushing myself very hard because I want to slowly get back into a routine.
I took Monday off to "recover." Actually, I just want to make sure all the pressure and pain I've been feeling is really from the work outs and not something else I should be concerned about. I'm going to see how work goes today and if I feel fine, then I will hit up the gym today after work. I'm really hoping it is just my body adjusting to working out again. I wouldn't be as concerned if I hadn't had so much pain other days without working out.
I would never do anything to jeopardize this pregnancy. Has anyone felt so much pain after working out while pregnant? Is it normal? Any feedback would be great....
FYI- I will contact my doctor if it doesn't get better.
