Baby Scare
Today was very eventful, more eventful then I had planned. I didn't get much sleep last night because I fell asleep around 3 am and had to be up at 7 for an 8 am doc appointment. After speaking with the doctor, I told her that I had a pain on th left side and she asked if it was Sharp. I said yes. She said ok go home rest and it it persists you may be having contractions so go to the hospital to labor and delivery to make sure.
I came home and tried to rest, but had to take Maya to the vet (which is a whole nother story), but the pain kept getting worse. I was afraid that if I was having contractions that if the baby came 12 weeks early there wasn't much chance of its survival because the lungs and brain and not fully developed. So I drove myself to the hospital after dropping Maya back off after her vet visit.
At the hospital they ran some tests and came up with the following results.
1-I was dehydrated and needed to have more fluids
2-I was anemic and needed more iron and need to take supplements
3-The pain I was having was because of two reasons. The first was that my
ligament is expanding and two because Giovanni is kicking me from the inside and
bruising me from the inside.
After releasing me they told me I needed bed rest for the next few days and to not push myself.
Said that because my belly was all baby and not fat that there was no padding to protect me from
his kicks or him from any outside the body damage. And that I have to watch out for that.
I've quite exhausted after today and will be on bed rest for the next few days. I have the rug people
coming again tomorrow (yet another renovation disaster) and hope that it is all done with tomorrow.
Happy warm weather.
