So my little Tari is making me extremely uncomfortable these days. I have no idea what happened the other night. The movements were hurting…and then my side and back hurt all night……it was as if she had wadded herself up in my side or something.
I think she may have changed positions…..because what I feel is different. It is bizarre sometimes.
I am so frequently out of breath these days and it makes me tingle all over….like there isn’t enough oxygen in my blood.
Just getting around has become exceedingly difficult as well.
Contractions still come every day throughout….and paired with them comes a chemical sensation throughout my body, I suppose it is hormones or something. Some of the contractions are very uncomfortable.
My feet and legs have seen better days. The tops of my feet are pretty sensitive to the touch. As long as I am laying down most of the time and keeping cool….it seems they aren’t so bad.
Other times they turn bright red and I can barely bend my ankle. I also have redness on the legs and white spots all over. The doctor said it was because of the amount of fluid…..and to put my feet up.
I have to pee like every 10 minutes……..going to the bathroom becomes tiring. I think I live there sometimes.
I have felt a great deal of pressure in my abdomen over the entire weekend…..and it pushes my navel hernia out even more….this really hurts.
Its pretty sad that a t-shirt touching my navel hurts.
The pressure also makes me feel like I have to pee…so I will trudge to the bathroom for nothing!
The baby gets the hiccups almost every day…which is so amusing. Sometimes you can even see it through my shirt.
I have not been sleeping well……my legs get this tingling sensation like they are asleep and hurt like a pinched nerve, the only way to make it stop is to get up and walk around. I also toss and turn, and even that is hard to do now. Turning over in bed……who would have thought?
I got pretty sick at work last week……..even though I had 4 bottles of water, I think I might have been dehydrated, overheated etc.
I felt sick to my stomach, very light headed, sweaty and shaky. I held out most of the day but could not take it anymore and left early. I called the doctor from work asking about my weird leg problems, they pretty much told me I can’t work.
I have an appointment today to be evaluated. I am a little scared. I have to undergo a small test as well……I suppose I am a little nervous about that too.
I know it isn’t time yet……but I am really to the point that I am ready to have her. I want her now!
I guess I am just getting old or something because this pregnancy has been very difficult for me.
On a more positive note…..it was all worth it. This little girl is going to light up my life. I cannot wait for the moment that I see her face and hold her.
There is no greater moment in life than when you hold your child for the first time. I am so lucky that I will get to experience this again.
