17 weeks... is this happening to anyone else???
I am 17 weeks pregnant with #2 and have had bouts of almost cramping, but more discomfort. When I feel my belly it feels kind of like I'm having a contraction (hard). Other times I can feel the outline of the baby where it is uncomfortable. It is usually on one side or the other. I never noticed this with my first. I'm wondering if maybe I am dehydrated because I have had a serious migraine for 5 days or if it is because I am not gaining any weight (1 pound to date) and I just don't have the "cusion" Hmmm... On top of it all I found out my neurologist prescribed me something that I really should not have been taking (Robaxin 500mg) Kind of freakin' out. Thoughts? Or is this happening to anyone else?? Also any tips on how to gain some weight without eating fast food (which is what I did with #1) would be greatly appreciated. I have an u/s scheduled for next Tuesday also.

I have had migraines since I was 8 or so, but they get almost untreatable when I am pregnant. I don't know if it is harder for meds to work properly or what, but it is ridiculous. I am getting a whole bunch of tests done over the next week to try and see what is going on. Just makes me nervous because I get way more cramps when I have massive head pain and I'm afraid it is hurting the baby in some way. This pregnancy is soooo much different than my first! Example: no heartburn this time, but gag reflex is outta control...lol
