All I could come up with was, "Wellllll . . . ya know . . . uhhh . . . ya know how it feels when you're kinda constipated and you feel that you need to poop . . . but you can't? Yeah. That's how it feels." What a terrible explanation! As I was trying to fall asleep (but couldn't due to discomfort), I thought of what I should have said. Next time I'll write it down in the dark & try to decipher it in the morning. It was good - REALLY good. But I did sleep at least a couple of hours last night and forgot.
So, what have you tried to explain (successfully or unsuccessfully) to your DH/SO?
Don't forget, my Ramblings are going private in a day or two. Email me if you want to stick around for more! kekis26 @ gmail . com

How true that is! It's impossible to truly describe. I know that nothing my mother told me actually prepared me for what it felt like. I get horrific cramps in my lower back and I tell my husband that it feels like someone stabbed me in the the back with a large dull knife and left it there...
Yup, just like Tara I tell DH that when i get the lower back pain it feels like a knife was left stuck in my spine. And then the area goes numb for me (I've had a few surgeries on my tailbone as a bonus, woo hoo - NOT!) When I feel a little cyst burst from my ovaries it takes my breath away. I tell him it probably feels like I kicked him in the nuts. He usually babies me after that ;o)
