I went to the Dr today. I had my first internal exam. Not too fun, it was uncomfortable & it hurt. The good news is that I'm 2 cm dilated and the baby is head down! Progress for me! My swelling is still bad. She looked at my legs today and they are like big sausages. She said they are so tight. I've gained 7 lbs since my appt last week. It has to be water weight. I haven't been eating in excess at all cuz most sweet or salty foods taste really weird to me and leave a gross taste in my mouth. I guess that is a good thing, then I'm not indulging in a bunch of junk. But on the other hand, it stinks cuz of all the holiday goodies I'd like to eat! My blood pressure is still in the normal range. I did have a bit of protein in my urine again today. I got the results of my Strep B test and I tested negative, so that is good. Baby's heartbeat was in the 160 range.
I think the baby has "dropped". Three people have told me this. I feel a lot more pressure now too and a lot of tightness across my stomach. As nervous as I am to give birth, it will be nice not to have pregnancy symptoms. But then I'll be dealing with post partum issues in addition to caring for a baby. I have a lot of tingling in my right hand and still have heartburn like every day. Pepcid AC is a good friend of mine.
