In between my last appointment and this one, I have been having a lot of abdominal pain, tightening and pelvic pressure. Sometimes it hurts so bad I have to stop walking and just hold my stomach. It kind of has me a bit concerned that I might be having contractions that are "doing something" or making my cervix dilate/efface, and I never had these with Katie's pregnancy. The good news is, the pain goes away when I rest and drink fluids. I brought this up to my Dr. today at my appointment, and she said to make sure to let her know if the pain doesn't go away. They don't want me to kick into pre-term labor.
My blood pressure seems to be a bit higher, too, but not so much that anyone is worried right now. We will keep an eye on it and see what happens. I asked my doc when I should stop working, as I was going on bedrest about this time with my last pregnancy and I dont' know what it will be like to work later into my pregnancy. Dr. A said as long as the pain/contractions don't keep me from working, I don't go into pre-term labor, and my blood pressure stays under control, I should be fine to work until I am ready to stop...probably around 37 weeks if that is possible. I can't believe that in 8 weeks, Nathan will be "Full Term" if he chooses to jump ship! I have so much to do!!
I also get to take my 1 hour glucose test again...oh fun. I was127 with a 130 cut-off, so she just wants to "Make Sure." Fun times!
