Shellie, how exciting that your baby shower is coming up this weekend. My mom is hosting mine for August 16th, it is going to be a luncheon on a Saturday.
To all the Cali mamas, please stay cool and drink lots of water! I know that you have been enduring high temp days and hopefully, they will pass soon. This week is going to be hot and humid over here in the Connecticut area, probably nothing compared to what you are having but I am already feeling uncomfortable. We have central air in the house and it doesn't matter how nice and cool it is, I have to strip myself down to wear a top and panties and I am a happy preggo lady. DH loves to see my growing belly and I love it too
I think I would be more at peace knowing that my discomfort was more in the vagina area but it is in the opposite end. Today, I have not felt it at all. We'll see what the doctor says on Wednesday.
Tabitha, I am not looking forward to the "finger checks" and I think that they will not be done until the thirty-something week, unless there are early symptoms of pre-term labor. By then, I will have a
national forest growing down there, ayayay.
I have my results from the glucose tolerance test and I passed with 117, the doctor's office said that anything below 130 is okay. However, I have been found to have an iron deficiency (anemia) so the office asked me to get SlowFE, iron supplements, and take it every morning with a glass of orange juice. My number was 29.5 and it should have been above 35. I didn't expect this but it may explain it now why I haven't gained any weight from May to June.
