I know... I'm late with this post... my apologies- I started off this week in the hospital but baby boy and I are okay. It was a scary experience simply because the fetal monitor was picking up on contractions that I didn't even know I was having but luckily, they hadn't caused me to dilate. I'm only 31 weeks along and as much as I am ready to meet my son, I DEFINITELY didn't want him to be born right now. And on top of that, I caught [another] cold over the weekend. Ugh... it really has been a rough week for me but I'm hanging in there. Ok- my symptoms for the last 2 weeks...
* sciatica... this was by far the WORST symptom for me during week 29. I've dealt with sciatica before I got pregnant and have had a few issues with it since being pregnant but this time, it stuck around for the majority of week 29. I was literally on the verge of tears because of the amount of pain I was in! I sure hope giving birth isn't more painful than that... sheesh!
* shortness of breath... asthma + a big baby means difficulty breathing! I am grateful for the few times a day that I can actually take a deep breath.
* tailbone pain... again, I'm going to chalk this up to baby boy's guesstimated weight...
Lord help me!
* heartburn/indigestion
* Braxton Hicks
At my 30 week appointment, I learned that I passed my glucose test (whoo hoo!) and have gained 20 lbs so far. There are just 8 weeks left until my due date... =)
