So the nurse called me back from Dr. Chohan's office and set my appointment for Monday December 22, so that's exciting that I don't have to wait long to talk to the doctor. There's somewhat of an uncertainty when all you have to rely on is a little pee stick. They say that they are 99.9% accurate and there are of course undeniable signs from my body that something is obviously happening...but still.
I have so many questions regarding my body and this pregnancy, mostly because for one, I have hypothyroidism, and need to find out about medication and the safety of our baby. Also, I have a question regarding the Rh Factor. The Rh Factor is an antigen found in the red blood cells of most people...those who have Rh factor are said to be Rh positive, while those who do not are Rh negative. As in, I am A negative blood type. Which means that I do not have the Rh factor in my blood. Problem is, my husband is Rh positive and if our baby inherits the positive Rh, then my body might try to reject the baby's blood. It sounds scary, but there are a lot of preventatives to make sure this doesn't happen. Again I will remind myself: Faith, not Fear. Either way, it is a definite question for the doctor as to what will need to be done.
So far, the day has felt really long and drawn out to me...I'm feeling extra tired. It doesn't help that I didn't exactly go to bed early last night, but still, my body feels that fatigue that is said to affect you around this time. I just want to lay down and zzzzzzz. And it doesn't help that the day is gloomy and cloudy and dark. A warm cuddly blanket and my hubby sound so good right about now :)
A few cramps here and there still, but they're getting better. Other than that, I feel great! No nausea or anything like that, so that's nice. I am feeling super thirsty, but have been drinking plenty of water. Which explains my upteenth trip to the bathroom! Oh well, such is life.
