Yay the 6 month mark :) Well I actually hit that on Friday but the doctors visit was not until today. There really is not that much to report. I have gained 8 pounds total with this pregnancy. It is more than I would have liked to gain at this point since the further I progress in the pregnancy the more weight I will accumulate. I should probably say good bye to my weakness of swiss cake rolls. They are so yummy but they are starting to put on the pounds. Although the doctor did not say anything about my weight I feel it is too much gain. SO now instead of reaching for the sweets I will reach for carrots or fruit.
There is some good news. Baby girl is measuring right on target for size and is nice and active. She really does not care to have her heart rate checked and I honestly think she finds it fun to annoy the sweet nurse trying to do her job. Baby girl like to kick the doppler and as soon as you are able to find her heart beat she moves before you can get a reading. After a bit of hide and go seek, her heart rate came in at 145. Nice and strong :)
I was also finally able to diagnose why I have been having a very sharp and almost paralyzing pain in my lower back at this appointment. Originally I thought that it may be sciatic pain, but then this pain did not go down my leg. I called the doctor and they thought muscle pain and said take Tylenol. I am sorry but Tylenol did not phase this pain. So finally today I asked and showed the doctor where exactly the pain is. He said it is the Sacroiliac Joint. It is from my my ligaments relaxing and stretching to prepare for birth, which had since allowed my bones to meet causing this terrible pain. Needless to say they cannot help. So I am going to my Chiropractor next week to get an alignment, which should alleviate this pain.
I hope you have a Fantastic Tuesday.
