Weight 170 pounds
I went to the doctor today. I'm officially in the 3rd trimester and I will now start seeing the doc every 2 weeks. Next appointment, we have our last ultrasound. My blood pressure was good today 108/82. I gained 7 pounds again this month - total is 19. The baby's heart rate is 149. The nurse said that was good. It took her a few tries to get the heartbeat because the baby was kicking at the same time. Dr. Williams measured me and poked around my stomach and said that the baby and me are growing at a good rate. I asked about my glucose tolerance test I took last month and he said I passed - score was a 92.
Last night my left sciatica nerve hurt so bad. It felt like a knife in my lower back/butt and shot sharp pains all the way to my toes. I slept in the recliner most of the night. I told Dr. Williams about this pain and my back pain and he told me I was officially pregnant. HA! He also said there wasn't much we could do about it. He said to try stretching. I wish there was something more to do but I have had a pretty easy pregnancy so far so I guess I will just deal with it. All the pain will be worth it in the end! = )
