pregnancy kinda bites
May. 26th, 2009 12:10 pmIt's good to be textbook. It is. According to the mayo clinic book, I must be just the picture of normal pregnancy. I've had every symptom they list except bleeding gums. These last couple of days I've had swelling in my left wrist giving me carpal tunnel. The ace bandage I keep wrapped around my wrist causes me to occasionally lean on the option key and type funky characters. I also have a mean case of prickly heat going across my lower back. That is most likely from the belly brace my doctor suggested I wear to ease the swelling in my legs so I could walk wi†hout pain. It definitely helps with the swelling but because it lifts everything up, it compresses my stomach on the other side and gives me reflux. Last night my dear, sweet husband looked at me and said he was sure the wrist would only be a problem for a few days. I looked right back at him and told him that I really don't mind having a gimpy paw but if he could do something about the prickly heat, that would be great.
