30 weeks, 2 days: Not a fun night
Last night around 9.30 I started having really bad back pain and very uncomfortable pressure. I went back and forth on whether something was wrong and did I need to call the doc, but knowing I had an appt this morning I tried to make it through the night. I took a shower at 1.30 in the morning to see if I could relax and try to get some sleep. It helped. I slept from 2am to 4am and then again from about 5am to 6am. I'm now trying to function on 3 hours of sleep and it's not working too well. I went to the doc this morning and turns out I have some kind of bladder/urinary tract infection. He gave me a Rx that should help with some of the discomfort and told me that if I ever have concerns that I should call the office - 24/7. That made me feel a lot better. I was just so unsure of what to do last night, but I never let myself get too freaked out. I handled it a lot better than I thought I would. Yeah for me!!!
As for the stats...the baby's heartbeat was 140 bpm and I've gained another 7 POUNDS!!! I'm up to 136 now, 32 pounds so far. He's started me on two week appts now so I go back on the 22nd. Can't wait! The more frequent appts mean that it's all getting closer and that my weight gain won't look so bad. Won't be too long now. We still have a ton to do, but it's all coming along.
Guess I better go. I'm going to head home soon and try to get some rest.
Updates soon!
