Yesterday I went to see a new chiropractor.
Last night I was sure I had killed my unborn baby.
The chiropractic appointment was great. She was very gentle, she used many different techniques and she even massaged my back and my right round ligament (beside my uterus). She couldn't really feel the left round ligament because that's where the bulk of the action seemed to be happening - My growing uterus and baby seemed to be covering the left side of my abdomen.
I came home so relaxed I immediately took a 2 1/2 hour nap.
When I woke up felt some sharp twinges in my lower left abdomen.
Twinges that kept getting worse. Sharp pain that eventually stretched from my waist to my pubic bone.
I cried. I was sure that I had dislodged the baby. How would I tell people? I kept running to the bathroom checking for traces of blood.
Eventually I exhausted myself from the crying and the running and I crashed on the bed, curled up in a ball on my left side.
And the pain? Miraculously stopped.
So then I felt like a total idiot.
This morning I have a visible, palpable baby 'bump' - right in the middle of my abdomen.

LOL. I hate that you got all worked up, but when youre pregnant for the fitst time that is exactly what you do. Dont be too hard on yourself. I am really, really happy that you are OK.
