Hello third trimester! Baby's getting bigger and so am I. I'm not totally uncomfortable (yet) but the belly is in full force and baby girl is moving all the time. I get physically tired more easily and my back can be sore from standing. My main annoyance right now is bathroom breaks. I don't remember this from my first pregnancy, but I have to go all the time! Not a lot of quantity but so frequent. It must be her positioning/pressure. No complaints though. I am so thankful to be pregnant and it is worth every symptom or discomfort.
I had another good OB visit. I passed my one hour glucose screening--which is fantastic not only because I don't have gestational diabetes but also because I don't have to do the three hour test. My weight seemed ok (it wasn't mentioned) and my fundal height measurement is on track. My next appointment is 32 weeks scheduled for late March. I'll have an ultrasound to check placenta and baby's growth. I have a little anxiety because after the 32 week ultrasound is when I was put on modified bed rest last time. I'll do whatever is necessary but would love to be up and active the whole 40 weeks.
More great news to report. A dear friend who suffered from other infertility issues began acupuncture about four months ago. She called last night and she is pregnant naturally! It is so amazing and wonderful. Although it is still early, I am excited for another miracle and praying for her family.
