I forgot to mention in my 16 week review that I’ve been getting headaches pretty consistently in the evenings. It’s not every day, but it’s a good 50% of them. If it’s bad enough (or if I’m at work) I’ll take a tylenol, but sometimes I just try to sleep it off – not always successfully. I know someone else mentioned pregnancy headaches in the second trimester, the timing certainly coincides. But I’ve also been noticing a lot more stress being held in my shoulders and upper back again, so I’m wondering if that isn’t contributing. I’m going to have to go for another massage to work out the knots again. My right shoulder was really hurting today.<\/p>\n
Also, in other fun-ness, something is off in my lower back. It’s a shooting kind of pain that goes down my left buttcheek, then over my left hip and down my leg. I would say almost certainly something pinched, a job for my chiropractor to fix. This is something I do remember from Devin’s pregnancy – same side, too. It’s not all the time, but once in a while I’ll just get a jolt down that buttcheek and yelp.<\/p>\n
I’m starting to feel things loosening up – which I suspect is what led to the back issue. I’m hearing a lot of pops when I get out of a vehicle or get out of bed. Things just feel… loose. Not really loose like they’re going to get, but I can definitely feel things relaxing (except, of course, my damn shoulders).<\/p>\n
The above notwithstanding, I feel wonderful<\/i>. I feel things starting to shift now, into that phase of pregnancy that I loved more than anything: feeling the baby move, nausea going away, carrying a round belly. I cannot even describe the joy that seeps into me when I close my eyes. This baby is such a gift – no more or less than Devin was, but a gift regardless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
