We got some bad news this week. My platelets have dropped down to 84. The 70-range seems to be when people start to freak out--so people seem to be preparing to freak out now, which freaked me out. My midwife called and asked that I start getting my platelets counted every week instead of every other week. I also will have another appointment with the hematologist. She has been consulting with an OB and thinks that I should start meeting with the OB too....just in case. We have a lot of unanswered questions. Hopefully we will find out more information soon.
I have been in a lot of pain this past week. No position is comfortable for more than a few minutes. I also gained a lot of weight in a short period of time--10 Ibs in 3 weeks! I am blaming all of the cake I have been eating from baby showers, birthdays, and weddings. No more cake is needed! In fact, I went to a wedding last night and we left before the cake even came out to risk temptation. Along with the rapid weight gain I developed my first stretch marks. Three of them right next to one another on my right side of my tummy. They aren't horrible. And it's not like I had a model bikini body before. But man.
I hope she is early. I am huge and don't know how much longer I can stand being pregnant. Thoughts of going running, painting my own toenails, and not struggling to put on my shoes enter my mind daily.
