I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to, so I wanted to give everybody an update.
I was ordered to rest (not "bedrest" technically, but close enough) about four weeks ago due to separation of joints in the hip/S-I/pelvic area. Although the pain is awful, the rest is just as bad sometimes. Right now it's (finally) raining, so I'm feeling that, too. But as dry and warm a Texas winter we've been having, I certainly can't complain.
I've been seeing both an OB and a perinatologist all along to follow the baby and I for any problems that baby and I might have because of the AS and meds. We've had 4 ultrasounds (I feel like I've already met the boy), and now we've worked up to doing weekly visits with non-stress tests to make sure he's doing ok.
The good news is that on thursday the peri told us that if my glucose test came back ok he didn't need to see us anymore, because there just isn't anything concerning about the baby that he needed to follow. So guess what? Yesterday I passed it!!! So now we're down to once a week checkups, with eight and a half weeks to go, and a whole lot less worrying to do in the meantime.
Now if I could just get free of this heartburn... (get out of my ribs, child!)
I hope you all are doing well. I read more than I write these days, but I do think of you often.
