Sorry everyone for not being on lately... I have been extremely busy and extremely tired! Every day that goes by it seems like I get more and more tired (you know it is bad when your 7 year old comments to someone on the telephone that his Mommy is probably asleep on the couch when it is only 6:30 at night- LOL!) Earilier this week I had an unexpected visit to my OB because I thought that I might have a bladder infection, but the urinalisis came back normal... So when I went back for my regular OB visit on Thursday the dr. discovered that it was the baby's head that is causing all of the pressure that I am feeling... I guess she wants to use my bladder and bowels as a pillow for the last few weeks! He also discovered that her head is extremely low... only about a knuckle length away from the cervix - with 7 weeks left to go, so he is expecting that I will probably deliver earily. How earily I am not sure, but he did mention that he wouldn't stop my labor once I reached 34 weeks - which I turn 34 weeks next Wednesday. I am hoping that I have less pushing time once the time comes since she already is pretty low, but I guess I will just have to wait and see. I don't really have many other pains besides the pressure I feel constantly... I do have some buldging veins on my left leg that have started to burn/hurt and itch - The dr. said to wear maternity pantyhose and see if that helps... I am planning on buying osme this weekend. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help with my veins? That is about all the news from here... I will keep everyone updated as much as I possibly can!
