I apologize for not getting a post up yesterday, we had a little bit of excitement yesterday afternoon. About 3 o'clock yesterday I was sitting on the couch and got an intense pain all the way around my upper back and upper belly. At first I thought it might have been bad indigestion, so I tried Tums and tried to lay down. Unfortunately, the pain intensified to the point I couldn't breath very well, I couldn't lay down and I couldn't sit up, I could only stand. I called the doctor and the nurse told me to go to the hospital immediately, to labor and delivery. She said it probably wasn't pregnancy related because it was my upper body, but if I was having problems breathing I should go. So I called Brad at work and told him. I drove up to Brad's work and we went to the hospital. Fortunately, by the time I got to Brad, I was feeling almost 100% better. We went to the hospital anyway, just to make sure everything was okay. They checked my vitals and Colin's and everything appeared to be good. The doctor came in and said that it could have been the muscles around my ribs spasming from stretching to make room for baby, which in turn can cause pressure on my lungs. They were still pretty concerned about my blood pressure so still want me to take it and track it everyday.
I have a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment this afternoon, I'll post about it later today.
