Current mood: depressed

well this just sucks!
I just got back from my 19 week prenatal visit. All in all it went pretty well except for...My doctor says I'm not allowed to do any exercising right now....which sucks! Because I am finally starting to feel like doing some exercising. I've been having a problem for the past 2 months which has been bugging me and Casey has been after me to tell my dr. about so I finally did today. If I stand for more than 10 or 15 minutes my left leg goes numb...completely numb. If I sit down for a few minutes I can feel it starting to wake up a bit. The other day I took a little walk with Casey, not too strenuous and we took it really easy since we're both pretty out of shape right now. By the time we got home...I felt horrible. My belly hurt so much and I had this urge to bear down. Now, I knew that this wasn't a good thing but...I thought I would wait till I saw the doctor. Which is why she just told me...no more exercising of any kind for now. I guess what I was feeling was probably contractions which at 19 weeks is not a good thing to be feeling. I can't even go swimming unless all I do is float on my back and do nothing strenuous at all. Not the news I was hoping to hear...I feel very depressed now.

When I do anything strenuous it seems that I am having contractions which is something my dr wants to avoid right now. It's just way too early for me to go into labor.

That sucks and is big-time scary.
did the Dr. not have anything to give for the contractions to stop them? Why did she not do a more thorough exam on you?
is she scheduling another appt. for you?

maybe just go enjoy finding a pool and relaxing, while eating something you are craving.

It's only happened once and it was only after I exercised. If I had been experiencing them while I was there she would have had something to see/feel? As it was, it was just my description. Since it's only happened the one time and she is not a dr. to prescribe medication at the drop of a hat she just wants me to stop with any extra exertion and see how it goes. If it continues even if I am not exercising then I will probably have to go on the dreaded "bed rest". If it happens again...I will be a good patient and call her immediately but as it stands now...I'll see her in 4 weeks at my next prenatal exam. I'm more pissy than scared right now...I had really wanted to start exercising but I want to keep this little bean safe and sound so I guess my ass will just have to get a bit bigger before I can make it a bit smaller...
