Phenomenon

It seems amazing to me that in spite of all modern medicine that there are still aches and pains that go unexplained. For the better part of a month, my body has been aching. I have this pain that starts somewhere in the cervix area (too much information?) and runs like a shock up the sides of my stomach. It feels like a jolt of electricity and I would swear that my little girl is scraping her hands on my underside. They cause me to stop and bear down. So I consult all of the books. None of them explain contractions this way. hmm.

Thank the gods I get to see the doctor every two weeks right now.

So I bring this mystery pain to her attention. She hasn't got much to say about it. Just that it happens, it's not a contraction, and medically there seems to be no explanation for it, because "we" (as if she goes through this with me) shouldn't be able to feel anything down there. Am I a freak? Nope. Apparently, women around the globe experience this mystery pain, but it hasn't been linked to labor, or dialation, or anything useful except another nagging pain.

I feel so fortunate to be chosen not only for morning sickness and stretch marks, but also the electro-shock treatment of my cervix. This process truly is miraculous.
