This morning I woke up with cramping. I figured it was going to go away so I got ready for work. Right before I was to leave for work, the cramping was so bad that I had to sit down. Nick had been asking me all morning to call the doctor and finally I said I would. I just didn't want to drive the half hour to work to have the pain get worse and have to come back this direction. I called the office and they had Dr. L call me back. He asked me if it felt like contractions, I said no, it felt like cramping. He said he wanted me to come in to take a look.
Nick & I got to the office and they took me in to see Dr. L right away. He checked to see if I was dilating, which I wasn't, thank goodness. He listened to the heartbeat, which sounded good. We talked some more and he felt it wasn't pre-term labor (which I didn't think it was either) and told me he just wanted me to take it easy.
What was really funny about the whole visit is guess what the first thing he said to me was after looking at my belly? "It looks like you have a hernia." Um...really? You think? How long ago was I telling you that I did?! I'm glad to know that I wasn't going crazy, but I wish they had listened to me earlier. Not that it really matters because nothing can really be done at this point, but still...
At this appointment, I got my paperwork for my Rhogam shot and my sugar test. None of this I'm looking forward to since it all involves needles and blood draws. What also caused me to panic just a little was that my next appointment is in a month but after that, I'm down to every two weeks. Already!! Where has the time gone?
