Kathy’s OB-GYN dismissed her severe gastrointestinal issues as normal pregnancy symptoms. 5 days after her son was born, she was rushed to the ER & diagnosed with stage 4 ColonCancer. Read how she’s navigating cancer with resilience & optimism.
When I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 29, I knew that I would likely have some uncomfortable moments ahead. But starting in my second trimester, I felt much worse than I expected. I had terrible cramping on my left side. I was also constipated to the point that laxatives didn’t make much difference, and there was often blood in my stool.
When I was 33 weeks, the pain on my left side suddenly became a stabbing level 10. It was so bad I could barely move. During the final weeks of my pregnancy, I spent hours in hot baths or curled up on the couch with ice packs, trying to get some relief from the constant and extreme pain. I was thrilled when I was ready to be induced at 38 weeks. The pain would finally be over! And of course, I would finally meet my baby boy. It was an absolute joy when I got the epidural. For the first time in so many weeks, I had relief from the pain. I had a smooth delivery and welcomed my son, Oliver, into the world, knowing that I would love him with all my being for the rest of my life.
