24 Week Appointment...

Well, I had my appointment today. He said
my fundal height is perfect and that the
pain I've been experiencing is normal and
is just from where my uterus is not used
to all this growth and to up my water
intake again. I have gained a total of 13
pounds so far, and 6 pounds of that has
just been gained in the last four weeks so
I'm going to start watching what I eat. I
don't want to gain over 25 pounds. I was
already heavier than I wanted to be so I
definitely don't want to go over that. I
guess I could start walking too.
My next appointment consists of my glucose
tolerance test. They gave me the nasty
drink. It's orange! Oh yeah! I'm probably
gonna puke. I've never been able to chug
anything. I usually just sip. Oh well,
gotta do what you gotta do. I will talk to
you ladies later !

I'm so glad your pains are 'normal'. Not
glad you are having them! Just glad they
aren't doing anything bad.
Swimming is also really good when you are
pregnant!

im glad everything looks good :0
i actually liked my glucose drink lol
it was fruit punch 
if you drink it cold its better
its really sugary and tastes like flat
soda i guess thats the only way i can
describe it
but it wasnt that bad
maybe the pains youre having is ligament
streatching?

If only there was somewhere to go
swimming. I'm not in school full time
right now so I would have to pay a chunk
each month to go to the fitness center. I
really don't see myself feeling like
driving 45 minutes to go swimming for
about 20 minutes and then driving back.

It probably is mostly ligament but the
pains are like in my vagina. It's not all
the time though but when I have them they
are very hard for me to bear. My mom said
she did the same thing though so that made
me feel a little better.

Yeah, I have to pay to visit the pool near
me too. For me and my daughter it is about
$60 a month. And that is just for the pool
privelage. I totally understand. Walking
is very very good when pregnant.

have you talked to your doctor about
sciatica? do you get shooting sharp pains
in your upper thighs and legs sometimes?

i have those pains too. i just have to
walk them off usually. with finn i didn't
get them until around the 3rd trimester,
this time i've already had them for weeks.
the pain is the worst when i've been
sitting for a long time and stand up.

oh, and don't throw up from your orange
drink! then you'll just have to do it all
over again.
mine really wasn't bad. you don't have to
chug it, you just have to drink it within
5 minutes. i had mine cold with a straw
and it tasted just like orange soda, mine
wasn't extra sweet or flat.

Yay! I'm glad your appointment went so
well..
Man! I had the same pain... it wasn't a
sharp pain , it was like a constant
trhobbing ache, right in the , you know
*area*
Near the end it was so bad nothing made it
better... but after I had the baby , it
went away almost instantly.
Pregnancy hurts... but it's soo worth it!
