Deb and me at 25 weeks
Me lookin' oh so fine in my new maternity belt. (Or, harness as I like to call it)
Baby J has been causing me a lot of pain these days. The Dr. said that he is sitting so low that he is blocking my circulation...therefore, causing some swelling inside and to my veins. Also, I am 1 and 300 preg. women that have where my ligaments have stretched out too fast too soon and my pelvic/pubic floor bones are not supported.....therefore (once again) causing a lot of pain. I have been (per the Dr.) "restricted from any activity that requires standing" at work and have been instructed to sit and elevate my feet as much as possible. This (to say the least) is very difficult considering I live a more active lifestyle than I realized. No more working out for me :-(. And, no more sleeping in the same bed as David. I now sleep on the couch at night to ease the pain I was having during the night and when I had to get out of bed. My new sleeping position is sitting straight up on the couch and leaning my head to the side on a pillow. Not the most quality sleep...but, hey....less pain! I have another Dr. appointment February 15th (this coming Wednesday) and I will see what the Dr. has to say about my situation and whether or not it has progressed...or stayed the same.
