For me, the most important thing to remember when trying to conceive is that I am not alone.
I’m not sure if this is true, but I have friends who are having trouble becoming pregnant. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with them in the slightest. They just are in pain.
When I first became pregnant, they told me they couldn’t get over the pain.
This pains me. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first time my boyfriend told me he was scared to become pregnant. He went to get a test and I was so relieved he was fine. I was so excited to get pregnant. The first few months, he was so happy. And then he started to feel the pain. He cried and was sad. But I didn’t want to take any chances.
As a woman, there are many things that our partner doesn’t want to be exposed to, but at the same time, the whole sex act is something that is considered taboo. The pain is also a reminder that it’s okay to let someone in the room with you while you’re trying to have sex. Even if you have a condom on, it’s still possible to accidentally tear it or break a condom. And of course, once you become pregnant, that pain becomes an even greater reminder.
This is why most women are usually relieved to get an epidural when they are having their babies. That’s because they know that if they want to have their baby, they will have to suffer pain during the pregnancy. (As many of you know, I do have a severe case of epidural-related pain, and it’s a pain that only women can endure.
The problem is when you have a baby, that pain can become so great that you have no choice but to lie on your side and scream and yell and hurl yourself into the ceiling. I know, the sounds of babies are a lot more relaxing than the painful sounds of the epidural, and I am not complaining.
So much so that some doctors have actually said that a pregnant woman should ask for a second epidural. So you can imagine the response to that. They’re right.
Luckily for you, it does help that the pain of the epidural is also a medical one. But what about the pain of a baby? One doctor who specializes in childbirth said that women who have a baby during pregnancy can expect to experience pain of a different sort. It’s a “pain of the buttocks,” he said.
Apparently the pain of the buttocks is in fact more of a clitoral kind of pain, the pain being localized and more of a dull ache. But I digress. So that brings us to the next point. So what I did when I suffered with these sorts of pains during my pregnancy was I asked to see my OBGYN about it. It turns out that your OBGYN will let you know when a woman is pregnant and if you are suffering from a pelvic pain.
