Pelvic Pain Update

3rd visit to the doctor within the past week and a half. Verdict is: There's no danger to me nor the baby. The pain I'm having is not associated with the other issue I started having. It's just something I'll probably have to deal with for the rest of the pregnancy. Something about there being extra blood in my system and hormones that make everything loose and soft. Yay... On a positive note, I'm feeling more kicks and punches now rather than just movement, so the baby is definitely getting bigger and stronger.

Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Program

Thank you all SO MUCH for the positive vibes, energy, and prayers! It actually appears to be helping! I feel better today than yesterday and I intend to rest ALL DAY tomorrow so it should only get better from here. A special thank you to Peter, Jaded Love and Marisa for helping me out with a wedding today! Today Baby Center says the baby is the size of a turnip and this is what I thought of. ^^

Positive Energy Needed

I don't want to worry anyone, but I feel the need to reach out for some support here... My doctor has put me on a temporary bed rest through the weekend... The baby is fine (I'm feeling movement almost constantly now), but I am not. Pelvic pain is worse and has progressed. If it doesn't stop its progression then I'll end up in the hospital which will only end in bad things. Peter is being very supportive and is helping me take care of things. What I need are good thoughts, prayers, positive energies, etc. to be sent my way. I have NEVER asked for such a thing from others, but I feel the need to now. Thank you...

Prenatal Appointment (16 Weeks)

I had an appointment this morning and spoke with my doctor about the pelvic pain. She wasn't sure what was going on, but offered a numbing shot to help with the pain. It didn't work. She also referred me to physical therapy. After just a 15 minute phone call, the physical therapist figured out what the issue was and suggested a few things that will help! Yay! I don't have to deal with this pain for the whole pregnancy! The baby is doing well as far as they can tell. They only checked for the heartbeat which was hard to find. This is funny because my pulse is difficult to find at times. I used to use this as proof to my friends that I was indeed a vampire. Haha... My next appointment is in 4 weeks.

First Baby Bump

Yay! I'm showing through my clothes! And I've maintained my 10 lbs. loss.

Baby's First Movements

You know that feeling on a roller coaster, or even going over a hill really fast, when you feel like you left your stomach behind? It feels like an empty spot where your stomach is supposed to be? That's the way it feels when this baby moves around. I get a brief moment of nausea then I smile because the baby seems to be enjoying itself. :)

The Beginning of Pelvic Pain

So... Apparently, I've sprained the ligament that attaches between hip bones and spans underneath the uterus... It's been painful, so the nurse suggested a pregnancy support band.
