So I totally forgot to write about this last post....I guess probably because it didn't start bothering me as much until late last night.
So, I have hemorrhoids. Usually, while they suck, they are no big deal. Even before pregnancy I would sometimes I get them for a day or so and then they would disappear. I'd have some pain while going to the bathroom and I've only had one REALLY bad attack and that was the night after my wedding.
Cue to last night. I've been a little sore down there, but figure its just because of all the straining due to the constipation. Well I was sitting on the couch for AWHILE. And when I stood up I felt it. It literally felt like something huge was going to fall out of my butt. And I'm not talking about the normal stuff that comes out. It felt like a lead weight. At this point its painful even when walking and I haven't gone to the bathroom in 2 days so I figure it could be that? I was in pain all night long and barely even able to sit.
Today it's 10x worse. I did go to the bathroom this morning...a lot. And it hurt some but I expected some of the pain to go away once it was done because there was no straining.. But it hasn't. That lead weight feeling in my ass has only gotten worse. I've tried warm baths, cold compresses, a little prep H. Nothing is soothing it at all. Getting up and down is HORRIBLE. The pain is excrutiating.
My family has a long history of dealing with hemorrhoids. Several even needed the surgery to remove them at one point. My Mom said it sounds like a REALLY bad case of internal ones and if they don't feel better tomorrow I will need to call my doctor. I'm praying it gets better because I'm already on antibiotics for an ear infection & nexium for my severe acid reflux. I hate taking so much medication :(
I'm pretty f-ing miserable right now.

So I haven't been updating much....
...and that's because I am constantly feeling like crap! And who wants to write a blog where they are complaining all the time? It's time for an update nonetheless though, so here we go.
I had been feeling pretty great for awhile....especially since 21 weeks or so. But once I hit 29-30 weeks, all hell broke loose. The heartburn is the worst I have ever experienced. I literally wake up choking on acid vomit. The doctors put me on Nexium because it's so bad and it's helped a lot but then last night I had another horrible attack of it.
The constipation is WORSE than the 1st trimester. And so much more painful now that the baby is so big in there. When you're having stomach cramping and the baby is kicking you at the same time, it is not fun. Between that and my IBS attacks, I have been having a lot of Braxton Hicks, due to those issues most likely (so said my doctors).
Don't get me wrong, I am still SO thankful to be pregnant. No matter how bad I am feeling, I smile everyday because I know my little girl will be here soon and it'll all be SO worth it. It's just definitely to that point in pregnancy where it starts to become very uncomfortable. Half the time I can barely even reach my ass to wipe it (I so wish I was joking, lol). The cramping and aching and pains are pretty much nonstop. And Hannah is a super active little one inside me. She has brought tears to my eyes with some of her kicks because they are that hard.
Regardless of ALL of that and regardless of all my emotional crying spells, I am happy. In two months or less I will have my beautiful baby girl with me. I can't wait til the moment I see her face and get to hold and kiss her and have her here with us. It's something I dream about often. And my husband is SO excited too. He is going to be such a great father.
Yesterday we did our second maternity shoot. I was 31w3d. We got to see two photos so far and they are SO cute! Can't wait to see more. It was a HOT ass day though. My hair, which I took hours to straighten nicely was completely curly by the end. Oh well. You can check those two photos out on my FB page if you want. :)
That's all for now! I'll try to update sooner again!
