Well, lately my belly button ring has felt tugged on every once in a while. There was sometimes a slight burning sensation surrounding it. I decided to just take it out. It is so bizarre. I don't like it. I am kind of struggling with some of my new body changes. I feel ginormous. Although I am still losing weight, my belly is huge. I have stretch marks on my lower hip/upper thigh area--which freaks me out for how many I am going to have by the end. Oh well, I guess. If I wanted a cute body, I should have a)lost weight a long time ago and b) not gotten pregnant. Right? ;)
I am having really bad round ligament pains when walking across campus and am incredibly uncomfortable....and I still have two more trimesters to go...
If considering trimesters by development instead of gestation (gestation is what doctors use), I am in my second trimester :) Here is why: "Development uses actual developmental stages to divide up a pregnancy. From LMP to 12 weeks the embryo develops all the major organs and becomes a fetus. From 12 weeks to 27 weeks the fetus continues developing and reaches viability. From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d." But, the doctors won't consider me in my second till January 19.
Had a new first the other day, a stranger asked to touch my belly. I am in no way weird about people touching me, it doesn't bother me, so I said yes. I am now called "the baby" by a few girls in the UO Gospel choir. I am hoping that will pass, I am a person....not just an incubator (though I don't always feel it....)
