Well - let me just say that no book that anyone could have given me could prepare me for what happens to your body when you are pregnant. WHOA!
Just wondering if anyone else is having some of the symptoms that I am having and if you guys have any thoughts or opinions on them.
I had a due date of July 6th based on my LMP, even though I thought it would be June 24 the whole time (bc I have irregular cycles and I knew when DH and I BD'd) I am on a beta blocker for a heart rhythem isse (not considered serious) that could effect the length of time it takes baby to develop therefore I have to have ultrasounds at least every 4 weeks. At my ultrasound last Tuesday baby's weight was 3 lbs 12 ozs and his measurements of femur, girth, and head were measuring ahead by two weeks (based on measurements not so much on his weight). Well, this put my due date at June 23. Ta Da! Just what I thought. Well - the Dr. had to leave to deliver a baby, so it was just me and the tech at this point, so I will have to ask him what this means at my appt on the 12th. So - now I"m left wondering am I 33 weeks along or 31 weeks. Then, this weekend, starting on Saturday I start having these spells a few hours after I wake up, shower, eat, etc. where I feel really hot, break out in cold sweat, feel like I"m going to pass out and vomit, and also have to go sit on the toilet. After about an hour it passes. Same thing happens Sunday, and same thing happened this morning after I got to work. What could be causing this? Next thing - I don't know if any of you remember but from pretty early on I have felt this intense pressure on my right side that rises up my trunk. Well, now, ever since Thursday I have felt really intense pressure from baby and it is causing intense pressure up my trunk and into my chest. Pretty uncomfortable. Also, yesterday I started having a kind of clear snotty discharge a couple of times when I go to the bathroom, not alot, but just a little on the tissue. I'm just so confused by all the things going on with my body! I'm a first timer too, so I'm assuming I can just chalk these things up to "your body does strange things when you are pregant", but it just seems like so many unknowns!
Anyway - what do you guys think? Are any of you experiencing anything similar to any of my symptoms? What are your symptoms lately?
Oh and if my due date really is in June now, you guys are still stuck with me! We have all been in this thing together, so I can't leave now!! :-)
