In approximately 6 days or so I'll be officially in the 3rd trimester! I'm excited about this prospect for some reason, though I'm sure I won't feel any differently next Wednesday than I do right now it's pretty much the final stretch! I have about 13 weeks to go if you count up to my scheduled c section date which is at exactly 39 weeks. I am having a hard time believing that I've been pregnant for 5 months already! It seems like just yesterday we were finding out and I was wondering how I was going to get through all the months ahead!
I've noticed that I'm getting more painful in my hips and lower back as the days progress, especially when I'm laying down trying to sleep. I've been trying to use a pillow in between my legs and to support my stomach but I really don't like sleeping with things or having stuff touch me while I'm trying to sleep (except a blanket of course!) so it's an adjustment for me. It does seem to alleviate some of the pain so I really do try to make an effort to use it. Fortunately my pubic bone doesn't really hurt until I'm in bed trying to roll over, but that's much better than all the time hurting!
Heartburn is good and managed right now. I'm only taking 150mg twice a day because I'm afraid the 300mg is what made me sick last week and I'm going to be too scared to even try to take 300 again for fear of the consequences. We'll just hope and pray 150mg does it for me for the next 13 weeks!
Symptoms - Hip and back pain, especially when trying to sleep, very mild heartburn sometimes, tired most of the time, and I'm pretty sure I've developed a waddle.
Food cravings - I still miss my McChickens! And Panda Express sounds good pretty much every day. I also craved Chicken McNuggets for a few days this past week, and ate them those few days too, but don't feel the craving anymore. That's how my cravings usually work.
Size of baby - He should be about 2lbs now and about 14 inches in length. I think he's supposed to start gaining pretty rapidly in the coming weeks, fattening up! I wonder how much he's going to weigh? I'm guessing between 6-7lbs.
