Yeah, I was surprised to experience implantation cramping so intensely as well, but I guess I shouldn't have been because my body is just abnormally sensitive to everything and always has been. It actually felt like my uterus was pulsating and throbbing. As cliche as it sounds, it actually did feel like life was creating inside of me because it was so strong. And actually almost immediately within a week after that, I started feeling the hormone increase and my emotions were so out of control I was having panic attacks and extreme mood swings. My husband told me he knew for sure I was pregnant way before I took a HPT at the point when I was bawling in the middle of a restaurant for no apparent reason, lol. I have a rare combination of health conditions at a young age (none life threatening thankfully) but I just kind of expect rare things to happen to me now. Like I said, I have mittelschmerz every single month. It was so bad one time in my early teens that my parents took me to the ER because I woke up in the middle of the night bawling in the worst pain and we thought it was my appendix. Turned out everything was fine, the doctor just suspected a really bad case of mittelschmerz. I have friends who say they're jealous and wish they could experience everything I do (whether they're having trouble conceiving or just can never tell what's going on during their cycles), but I tell them the grass is always greener on the other side! I'm sure I'll be more sensitive to childbirth pain than the average person because of my body's hypersensitivity. But I'm not letting it deter me from trying a natural birth. I'm tough; I've been through enough to tackle anything.

I'll for sure have to check out the threads on RhoGAM. I have serious qualms about any vaccinations or shots these days. My midwife only carries single dose Thimerosal-free RhoGAM, which is the only kind I'd consider. But I just feel like I can't trust anything I'm told or read about regarding how necessary it is during pregnancy... plus, since I want to have my midwife administer that specific form, it is going to cost us $250/dose out of pocket. Eek! I mean, is it's necessary then I won't hesitate to have it done. I just haven't gotten to that decision point yet...... and I only have 4 weeks to figure it out now. Oh my!
