2ND ROUND

OCTOBER 16ST, 2008
Beginning of week 13. Yippy. So what did I get for reaching 13weeks. PAIN, PAIN, PAIN. This wasnt pain like I had before. I have had cysts bursting for 5 years, I have had a 6"cyst removed from my left ovary, and the pain I was experiencing wasnt compariable to any of that. It was in my actual abdomen, then moved to my whole stomach down to my ovaries. I would sit, it would hurt, I would stand, I would have to sit just so I could breathe. To say the least, it was not normal, and I felt like I ate a box full of knives. So off to the Dr. I go....

I am informed that of the .15% of people I am lucky enough to have my uterus POP up from my pelvic area. Never heard of that before.. but whatever. I havent heard alot of the things they have been telling me over the years! The doc. also informs me that my corpus ludius cyst bursted.. Okay whatever. I'm just wondering about this damn uterus popping thing.

Doc. Informed me that because of my wonderful ovarian disease, I never experienced normal cycles, which there fore did not allow my uterus to stretch. When women are going through their menstrual cycles, and you experience that cramping, that is your uterus stretching to help shed. Well, I dont experience that wonderful cycle, in return I have a very small UTERUS. GREAT. So her parting words to me were. You are going to be in pain for a long time. NICE.

We were brought to the ultrasound room to check the ovaries, and gallbladder, and ultimately the baby.

It wasnt a piece of rice anymore. It was an actual baby. head, feet, hands, spine, toes, fingers, eyes, chin... I didnt see a butt chin so I was excited. Rich was disappointed. The only thing I ask for is NO BUT CHIN! :-) The baby was JUMPING like crazy, "trying" to do a somersault. It was crazy... I was in so much pain from the ultrasound tech pushing down that it was a little hard for me to get the full effect of seeing the little thing.. but man was it entertaining. You have to picture a 5-6inch baby jumping in a tiny uterus. It had no where to go.. but it just kept moving around. I was glad it was only 5-6inches.... when that thing starts getting to the 10"mark.. I'm in alot of trouble! OUCH.

So things have been a little on the rocky side. I learn somethign new everyday. They havent said if having a small uterus will complicate things. I think they are afraid to tell me anymore weird news. I ask too many questions! Mainly.. Are you kidding me? :-)

So week 14 is better. Its Tuesday and I'm at work so that has to be a plus!

I'll try and update daily.. Probably wont happen... But at least weekly...
