April 23 - Went to doc for an issue and was told to take it easy or he would make me take it easy.
April 30 - Went to doc and got better definition of take it easy. I am supposed to basically go to work and go home.
May 8 - Coould not walk from horrible pain in my stomach when I moved my legs at all. Called the doctor and said it was a tore or stretched ligament. Doctor said to stay in bed with my feet up for 3 days and do nothing.
May 11 thru May 18 - Still had ligament pain and not able to walk much. Started feeling a little better towards the end of the week. Worked from my bed at home most of the time during this week.
May 21 - Regular doctor appointment. Was told to still take it easy and that the ligament pain will come and go until I deliver. I am swelling up like a whale so bad that my hands and feet are turning red. The baby is measuring big so doc said that we will more than likely induce early due to her size and just to help me out some since I keep having issues.
May 25 - I began feeling light headed and like I may pass out at home that night. I figured that I was just tired so I just sat down a lot. My head started pounding so I took a 'happy pill' and went to bed.
May 26 - I went into work and started feeling like I would pass out constantly - something wasn't right. Once I felt ok enough to walk myself to our clinic, I did. My blood pressure was high (not extremely high, but high for me), blood sugar was on high side, was swelling, and had a low fever. All of that combined with not feeling the baby and the faint feeling earned me a trip to the ER. What a mess... So, I ended up at the ER, all vitals were still on the high side. They took me up to L&D and hooked me up to a couple of monitors to check on the baby. She was all good and moving like crazy! They told me that they believe that I had a virus and my body just reacted different due to the virus combined with the pregnancy. I went home, took Benedryl since there isn't much else that you take when pregnant, and slept for 4 hours! I woke up, ate, and just sat on the couch til it was bed time. I took another med and went to bed.
May 27 - I woke up and still didn't feel well so I called in sick. I took a Benedryl and slept another 4 hours.
June 1 - B got strep and J caught the virus from me.
It seems like something has happened almost every week for the past month, so now I am just waiting to see what happens next week...hahaha
In all seriousness, August seems so far away right now and I just hope that things will settle down. The ligament pain comes and goes, and I know that resting is the only thing that truly helps it subside. I don't want her coming early, but at the same time I don't want any more drama.
