My pregnancy with Connor was so very different from Nugget's. My skin cleared up, my hair was thick and needed less washing, everything was so smooth.
With Nugget, my skin has been horrible, I'm shedding like I'm six weeks post partem, I feel like I'm already as big as I was when Connor was born (my bump has blossomed BIG TIME) and now my hands are killing me. It started about a month ago with my righ hand. I would wake up and I'd be numb up to my shoulder as though I slept on it wrong. Then it was both hands. Then it took longer and longer for them to "wake up". Connor would be well into breakfast some mornings and my hands were still tingly. I've been having trouble with strength and grip. Now this past week I'm having unbearable pain in my right wrist. Everything hurts, even touching it.
The midwife says this is normal, pregnancy swelling pinching the nerves in my hand. Tom bought me a splint to wear that seems to be helping.
I've been bad about writing about my doctor visits. Everything, even the 20 week ultrasound has been fine. As far a Nugget is concerned this pregnancy has been smooth sailing. I shouldn't really complain either since I'm getting the abbreviated pregnancy. Maybe it just seems harder because I slept so much during my pregnancy with Connor and I can't with Nugget.
The funnier thing is that both my Midwife and Dr. Dempsey (who was my doctor with Connor) are pregnant and expecting as well. They are due a few weeks apart. So somewhere in her I'll have to see a different doctor while they are both out on Maternity Leave.
