I found a chiropractor with the hours I need but my H just told me that our copay is $40 for chiropractors vs the normal $20. I am so cheap that I am only wanting to pay $20, lol. How often do you go?
Ugh, that sucks!!!
I go once a week but my copay is $0. Otherwise I'd try to stretch it to 2x/ month.
I made an appointment for Monday. She said I might be fine after 1-2 visits so I am just going to take it session by session. Thanks for your help <3
creamsiclechica OMG you poor thing, wow that is so scary and that jerk at the hospital needs to stfu when he's asking pregnant women in pain asinine questions. Jeez. I really hope things ease off for you, you have had SUCH a rough go of it this pregnancy.
TrudyCampbell are you still taking zofran or did you stop completely? and did the constipation not ease off at all? Its time for me to go to buy stool softeners. I was hoping to hold out but while I'm not constipated yet my poop is hurting me/coming out in little hard balls! noooo I'm also waking to pee at night, usually only twice but it sucks because I can't fall back asleep easily. I'm really hoping this is just a first tri thing that will ease off again then until the third tri
kdrake8 only 7 more weeks to go for you! I know that sounds more like "only FOREVER to go for you!" right now
Reading stories from other ladies about later pregnancy is putting the fear in me.

I am still taking it about once a day. I guess I don't HAVE to be taking it, but it is just so much easier to take it when I start to feel nauseous (usually around 5pm) so I can actually feed V and eat dinner without puking. I still end up puking about 50% of the nights lately but that's better than 100%! I'd almost rather puke than have this constipation though. OMG.
So I did call my doctor's office (they had told me to call if I had any more bleeding anyway, plus the ER said I should follow up). I had to leave a message for the nurse to call me back like always, so I can repeat myself to her and have her talk to the doctor and then call me back again. ::)This was mid-morning. I STILL have not heard back. I am starting to hate them.
That's annoying. I'm sure there are downsides to having 6 OBs working as a team in my practice, but I really like it because their staff is so huge that someone always responds to me right away.
creamsiclechica I'm sorry you are dealing with that- I hope you feel better!
I'm huge. I'm peeing brown. I'm tired. And I have a toddler that won't sleep. Life is awesome here. Oh yeah, and I decided to launch a direct sales business this week. I'm so smart.

I'm blah. I was hoping I'd feel better for the 3rd pg vs the 2nd since it was space farther apart, but I don't. I feel worse. I feel sooooo pg right now. I've already started getting shortness of breath just while standing up. Talk about feeling like a lazy ass- not walking, moving around, etc. Just standing there and I feel like I'm going to pass out. My hip has been jacked up for weeks, I have insomnia, and I'm just tired no matter how much I sleep!
My inlaws have taken yet ANOTHER gigantic ass vacation. They're gone for 5 weeks this time and just pissed me off about it, like they got defensive when I was shocked at how long they were going to be gone. I know I SAH, but they are our only babysitters and they know that, so it still is a pain to deal with their insane vacations. I know I sound entitled, but I'm just freaking jealous that I can't up and leave whenever I want, I'm stuck with the kids alllll day long, and they're the only family that will help. At least if they just owned up to it and said "yeah, we're retired, we're rich, and we're going where we want when we want I'd feel better". but they're the kind of people who are always pinching pennies and complaining that they have to save and scrounge, etc. Did I mention part of their vacation was going to do some repairs on their new 2nd house they just bought in florida? MIL just gets soooo broken up about how she's going to miss the kids so much and she doesn't know how she'll do it, etc. etc. Um, nobody is forcing you to leave for weeks at a time all throughout the year. Either go and enjoy it or don't go. Don't act like you're so distraught because you just HAVE to go on this awful horrible beach vacation while my pg ass sits at home struggling to keep this house show ready for nobody to look at.
biblionerd our pregnancies sound so much alike and this is only my second. I'm scared for the third
And my ILs are the same way with the money thing. They're constantly complaining, yet they just got back from a 1.5 week long vacation in the Dominican Republic and gave my SIL $3k because her daughter needed to get a helmet. They say that can't come over and see Lincoln because "gas is so expensive" so we have to go over there but they keep their a/c set to 86 because that's too expensive for them too. Yeah, right! But unlike yours, they don't help us with anything.
I'm chugging along. According to LMP, I'm 29 weeks today. According to my recent ultrasound, however, I'm 32 weeks, making me 8 months. My MFM is very happy that Yoda is doing so well but he's also a little concerned, simply because he doesn't want Yoda to be in the NICU. I just started going in for weekly NSTs to monitor his progress and we'll determine if I'll be able to go full-term. My MFM is confident that I will but he also wants to be sure, since there is the issue of removing my cerclage prior to delivery. There's a good chance my November Yoda will be an October Yoda.
I'll be doing my glucose test this Friday. I haven't gained any weight (which isn't a surprise because I didn't gain any weight with Ethan). My primary complaint is insomnia. I really just can't fall asleep at night and when I do, I'm up peeing every so often. I'm lucky to be off work so I can sleep during the day to make up for it but then, I'm wide awake until the wee hours of morning so it's a vicious cycle. I hope to go to bed at a decent hour at some point to break it.
We purchased some more baby stuff. I posted this on the blog but in case the April mamas didn't see them, we chose our 'going home from the hospital' outfit:
