Well last night we spent over 8 hours in the ER. I have had a horrible sharp, unbearable pain on my right side since Saturday morning. This is the same pain I was experiencing back around week 12, the same pain doctors would not see me about. Well, the pain has come back and it’s so bad that I cannot stand up straight, lay on my left side and it’s extremely sensitive to the touch. So anyway, we went to the ER and the doctor was amazingly straight forward, he said that I am either experiencing an appendicitis, or the appendages holding the uterus were stretching. Well, after checking on the baby, which is fine and measured a little further along than before and weighing in at 7 ounces we were relieved. Nothing else showed up on the ultrasound so now we had to wait and see my blood work results, they came back fine. My urine did show that I have a urinary tract infection, hence the pain I experience when I stand. Now, I am on antibiotics for the second time this pregnancy. Thank golly the baby was fine…now these pills better hurry up and make me better so I can resume “normal” life. I will add the picture we got last night of Baby “A” when I get home.
