Actual conversation with my obstetrician this afternoon...
Me: Hi, Doctor. So, I'm still having this tightness in my lower abs when I stand or walk around. Should I be concerned?
Doctor: Um, so could you tell me again why exactly you ran six miles on Sunday?
Me: Well, technically I only ran 2 and walked the other 4. But, I'm a runner and triathlete. It's what I do. And, you said activity was okay.
Doctor: You're fine, nothing to worry about. Baby's just adjusted position and you're getting bigger. But, no more running.
Me: I can still walk, right? I mean, I have a 5K in two weeks!
Doctor: sigh. Yes, you can walk. But no more running.
So, on the To Do list for this week -- buy my first ever pair of walking shoes. Renew my membership at the swimming pool. First of many sacrifices of motherhood!

Hilarious! I can expect that my appointments will soon sound like yours.

Glad all is ok! Maybe Baby just liked running a little too much! :)
Maybe she was secretly kicking with joy on the inside during the run and she bruised you??
Either way, glad you can walk the 5K. Despite the issues on Sunday, your smile crossing the finish line was BIGGEST smile I've seen on your face in quite awhile.
