Additional and hopefully final doctor update for the week!

Update:

On Tuesday night I was in so much pain I almost went to the ER. Cramping, back spasms, and extreme bladder pain. I was in tears on the way home, so I called my doctor. He reassured me that these symptoms are not uncommon, but if I was really uncomfortable and worried to go to the ER. Well, I got through the night and headed up to work on Wed (I always feel much better in the morning). Around 10 he called and told me to come in and get a sonogram to be safe and then he would see me. I got there and had my sono. She is doing great and apparently I am the only one that is not doing so good.

Well after that I was waiting to see him. I was forced in so I waited about 2 1/2 hrs to see the doc. While I was waiting they decided I needed to do my glucose test. YUCK!!! On top of that, I had not eaten lunch yet, so I got light headed, shaky and had a hot flash. I ate some crackers really fast and the nurses weren't happy, but I was about to pass out. Well he talked to me and this is what he thinks all this pain is.

As my body is preparing for a child, the tendons and ligaments around my pelvis are loosening, thanks to the hormone relaxin (seriously). Some people have menstrual type cramps from it, some back pains, some minimal pains, some none at all, and some with pretty severe pain, including bladder pain. Guess where I fall.... So he gave me an antibiotic to make sure I have no infection and some Tylenol with codeine to take before bed. Unfortunately it is too strong to take at work (even though it might make it more fun!) so I just have to deal with the pain. He said eventually the pain will subside, and if it does not in two weeks he is sending me to a specialist to make sure there is nothing more major going on. Also, he said if the Tylenol works, it is likely just some inflammation. Well, the Tylenol is working. I took it last night before bed and I did not want to go to sleep because it is the first time in over a week I was not hurting. Oh well. Also, at the sonogram, we discovered the baby is frank breech, which means her little booty is sitting on my birth canal with her knees and legs straight over her head. The doc said that will also make me a lot more uncomfortable. If she does not move on her own, we will deal with that later.

Say prayers and think positive thoughts that this is just a temporary setback so I can hold a beautiful baby girl in my arms. It is totally worth it!

I will be adding some pics of me and my ever growing belly today too! I hope to add the sono pics soon.

Thanks for all the support! Love you guys!
