I would echo this. You don’t know if it will recur or not. The only thoughts I have are wondering if you have fibroids? And if you’ve ever seen a pelvic PT or prenatal chiropractor trained in Webster as there are all sorts of uterine ligaments and muscles and such that get strained during pregnancy.

Unfortunately, for some women being pregnant is just really painful. It’s a sacrifice only you can decide if you want to make. Personally, I prolapsed after my first birth and my second pregnancy was a nightmare of constipation, prolapse symptoms (my bladder is basically at the door of my vagina and pregnancy made the pressure so much worse), vomiting stomach acid from severe heartburn, not sleeping well due to obstructive sleep apnea, and horrible throbbing vulvar varicosities that were purple and swollen and caused me to have to wear a female version of a jock strap and constantly be icing my vulva. Oh and I had gestational diabetes, too. And previously I was pretty fit. I’m just petite, I am short, I have a short torso, and my family grows big babies.

It’s ok to stay with one child. It’s ok to have another, but you have to make peace that doing so may mean a return to your pain. There’s plenty you can do to attempt to treat it, but it may not do anything and you have to be ok with rolling the dice. [/quote]

OP here, first time, one of the problems was that there was not plenty to do to treat the pain. The ER told me to stop taking Tylenol because I was taking it so frequently. My OB gave me an oxy prescription but it helped only a bit during the episodes and made me loopy the rest of the time. I can’t take NSAIDs due to another medical problem. Yoga, deep breathing, stretching, heat, cold, TENs device: all did squat. What else is there? [/quote]

You could try a doctor experienced in female pelvic pain like Rachel Rubin or Sarah Cigna. You could incorporate epsom salt baths at a low temperature. Epsom salt dulls the pain receptors. Pelvic floor physical therapy. Chiropractor trains in Webster. TCM. Acupuncture. Learn and practice meditation. Accepting the pain instead of fighting it and recognize that it’s temporary will take your body out of fight-flight-freeze. At this point you are probably hypersensitived to pain in the area and your nervous system is reading any signal as a fire alarm because it is so primed. Learn about pain science. There’s lots of things you have not tried yet. [/quote]
