Having lots of abdominal pain. My doctor thought it was a UTI but antibiotics haven't done much. At my ultrasound they found a couple of fibroids so now I'm wondering if those are what's causing the pain. I had one in college that had to be removed because it was causing a lot of pain. Planning to go in tomorrow to try to figure it out.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I'm a teacher so we're on the 2 week countdown to Christmas break!
Not sure what happened to my last questions. But favorite Christmas tradition is getting a new ornament for the tree each year. When my husband and I got married 3 1/2 years ago we started collecting a Hallmark ornament each year. We decided to collect Muppets so it's fun to see what the new ornament will be each year!
How big is baby? Pack of a half dozen bagels, I think. As an aside, proper bagels were one of the things I missed the most in the years I lived abroad. Bagels, Cheez-its, and root beer haha.
Appointments this week? Nope. Next week!
Symptoms? Heartburn is a motherf****er. Even with taking Zantac once a day, I still need to top up with a Tums here and there. It sucks so bad. RLP. Feeling and seeing kicks from the outside now! I still don't look especially pregnant, but I'm definitely feeling pregnant. It's tricky to bend over and get off the couch already, and there is still another 4 months to go. Sigh.
Rant/Rave/Questions? See above re heartburn
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? Santa would always leave a present at the foot of our beds to open before we got up in the morning. I'll probably continue that with my kiddos
Symptoms? My hormones are still messing with my appetite so hungry all the time and get intense sweet tooth cravings.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I got a Fibit Alta to replace my Fitbit One and I love my new tracker.
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? I like wearing Christmas socks and sipping hot cocoa by the fire. We also have Christmas-y scented candles going for the month of December.
Rant/Rave/Questions? baby girl has been so active up until the last 2 days. She has been significantly less active or at least noticeable. Makes me rather nervous
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? we don't really have set in stone traditions but I loved driving around with my parents looking at all the christmas decorations so we will definitely be doing that with our little
Symptoms? Heartburn showed up with a vengeance this week. I was hoping not to have it this time. RLP seems worse the 2nd time around too.
Rant/Rave/Questions? I still feel like my belly is really small, especially with a second baby. I can feel the top of my uterus where it should be (just below my belly button), so I guess I will try not to worry too much.
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? Christmas Eve dinner and stories at my grandma's house. She is in a nursing home, so we go to there now, but it is still a wonderful tradition.
Appointments this week? I have my anatomy scan tomorrow!
Symptoms? Random headaches, insomnia, sciatic nerve pain is sneaking up too.
Rant/Rave/Questions? The inconsistent movement stresses me out. I wish she would move all the time. I feel like I really have to pay attention for it.
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? Going to my aunt and uncles on Xmas eve with the whole family. We play games, eat too much, sing, it's so much fun.
Appointments this week? follow up ultra sound tomorrow since baby wouldn't cooperate last time
Symptoms? Exhaustion, and my DH would say irritability haha
Rant/Rave/Questions? I feel huge. I hate when people are shocked by how many weeks I am compared to what they think I should be based on my bump. DS was a ten pounder and measured big my whole pregnancy so that happened a lot with him as well. But it just sucks sometimes, especially when they constantly ask if I have GD or if I'm sure its just one. I think I know my medical history stranger! I wish people would just smile and say look nice today haha.
GTKY: Favorite Christmas/holiday tradition? We also see lights on Christmas Eve with my family. I like to watch It's a Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve too.
