This is getting exciting!
My tummy varies between flatish and very protruding. At least I have enough spare skin there I hope not to get too many stretch marks.
Am slowly telling people. Their reactions quite enthusiastic. That's nice.
My twin gave birth yesterday to her 3rd, a boy. So that's my 15th niece/nephew. My baby will be my mohter's 17th grandchild.
Been feeling reasonable except for tummy pain (still bothersome and worrying - but haven't gone back to see dr after last one told me the pain was not severe enough to be anything serious and i should just put up with it and see him after the delivery - in 7 months!!!!!). I will have to tell my obgyne... but been putting it off. Anyway if it gets really severe I can always go to the ER.
However, am still able to exercise so I figure it can't be too serious. Yesterday did a long bike ride and other than being tired afterwards it didn't make anything worse.
Allergies aren't helping because every time I sneeze or cough the pain gets worse (seems I am one of the 30% of allergy/asthma people who get worse during pregnancy) ...... but have a short course of some 'apparently safe' allergy meds from my allergy dr and does seem to be helping...
Still really tired, but I think that's normal for this stage of pregnancy. Visual symptoms are increasing - lots of flashing..... will wait and see how that goes. Endo will want to know about that - worried in case it's the pituitary adenoma enlarging... no chnage in visual field that I can tell.... so I'll hang on for now.
Hey, not trying to complain. this was my decision to get in this state. :) As long as baby is healthy I am prepared to go through anything...
