OMG, being pregnant is one of the nicest things a woman will ever go through but there aint half some bad stuff to go along with it!
Monday morning I woke up with dead arms. Well, wrists to be precise. Burning sensations, horrific pain, tight muscles, you name it, it was hurting me, purely in my wrists. I could move my fingers and arms without any pain, but putting pressure on my wrists and I was crying. I tried to grin and bear it, tried what little pain killing stuff I could take and had the worst night's sleep on Monday night in years. In fact, I don't ever recall being in so much pain that I couldn't sleep. Apparently, carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnancy is quite common.... lovely. So I've just had 2 days off work, avoided the computer, and just rested my arms on the 2 fluffiest pilllows I could find. The pain is subsiding now, the swelling has almost gone and I actually feel like I've got the use of my arms, wrists and hands back. :mad2:
And then today, I've been for 28 week blood tests plus an Anti-D injection because of my blood type and they took the blood from one arm and injected the Anti-D into the other :incazzato: marvellous! and tomorrow I'm back in the see the consultant so that they can check my blood pressure and check the size of the baby... most people can see the size of the baby just by looking at the size of me :lol:
oh the wonderful miracle that is human reproduction... roll on July when I can get my body back
