Twenty-five weeks

How far along? Twenty-five weeks - 2/4/11

How big is baby? 

 

Next appointment: February 21st

Symptoms: Still my back/booty. It's not going to go away. The fun new thing that's been steadily getting worse is heart palpitations and rapid pulse. I remember it with the other pregnancies, but it wasn't this intense or scary. It freaks me out, and makes me feel very strange.

Reflections on this week: Had my 24-week check-up on Tuesday, and I discussed my concerns about my heart and the anxiety resulting from the strange things that it's doing. Dr. P felt that it was very normal (especially at this time), and that there really wasn't any reason for too much concern. As a precaution, we did some lab work and checked my thyroid and my iron levels, to see if either of those were contributing to the problem. Thursday, they called to tell me that everything looks great, so I'm just going to do my best to hang in there and try some relaxation (if I ever get a chance!).
 

What I'm looking forward to: I know what I'm NOT looking forward to. My next appointment. I have to do the lovely glucose test (yuck) and my Rhogam shot. That will not be a pleasant day, let me tell you.

In other news, we're having a snow day today! Wheee!
