Life for me recently seems to revolve around one word - pain. With that, I mean physical pain. I have pain in my finger, yes it's still not totally healed; pain in my tummy (gas), pain in my rear (diarrhea) and pinched nerve in my buttock and pain in my back. And they are ALL related to my pregnancy!!! Argghhhh!
If you recall, my finger's not healing as usual because being pregnant, the doctor can only prescribe mild antibiotics and it's not really working to eliminate the stubborn germs hiding in my finger. The tummy aches and diarrhea is due to my inability to digest milk, (I used to enjoy milk before my pregnancy). And the weight of my tummy is causing my back muscles to work harder and my spine seems to have gotten misaligned somehow and is pinching a nerve that's connects to my right rear cheek (this has happened in my previous pregnancies).
Sorry to gross you out but I felt that I needed to share my pain!
But there is some good news in the midst of all this. I went to see my ob-gyn the other day and everything is as fine as can be. Baby seems to be growing well and the heartbeat is fast and strong (Dr's words). He was so confident about everything that he scheduled my next appointment 5 weeks away. When we told the nurse that the date given to us is not suitable and could we postpone it to the next week, we got an earful from the nurse who told us "5 weeks is already very long, cannot delay anymore!"
Another 5 months till my EDD (estimated due date). The day seems so far away!
When Life's in Chaos, Thank God for Chocolates!
