Last Wednesday around 2:00pm to be exact, I was having horrible lower abdomen pains. I literally thought I might die. I had read while back when I first found out I was pregnant about round ligament pain and thought that was maybe the problem. Either that or I was having monsterous gas pains- EWE! Luckily it wasn't the latter problem :) Anyway, I haven't been one of those pregnant women who reads about everything and becomes a hypochondriac and freaks myself out about pains. Thank goodness for Google! Turns out that it was just the uterus stretching to make room for baby. Even though I think it's gross to think about the baby is supposed to double in size over the next few weeks, so it's wasn't big enough to move around in there!
That night, while in my leftover numbing pain, I REALLY felt the baby moving for the first time and alot too! It's amazing to me that something that feels like gas bubbles is infact baby's first movements. I wonder what an elbow into the rib will feel like :) All of the wonderful things to come I suppose. Ever since that day, I have been feeling the baby move more and more throughout the days!
Tomorrow, we have the 20 week ultrasound. We FINALLY get to see what has been making me so sick in there for the past 5 months and I can't wait! I am feeling better now. Back to about 90%, but I'm afraid if I say 100% then i'll get sick again. I have come a long way in about 4 days. My hunger is a little more manageable and sleep is too. It's just finding things to eat that sound good. I still have not had any cravings what so ever. Good or bad thing, who knows!!
I still have no picture to post, but after saturday, I will a lot! I do have a visible bump now that is growing bigger by the day. After the stretching took place last week, that is right when i really popped! Here are the 19 week updates, stay tuned this weekend for pictures!
