Well...we ended up back in the hospital Sat night-Sun morning to get my nausea under control, which we did. We then spent Sun night at home, and had a follow up appointment with the OB/GYN covering for mine while she is on vacation. When she saw that I was still in pain, and heard how many Percocets I needed a day to manage it, she sent me back to the hospital where I am now.
This time, the goal is to figure out what exactly is causing the pain, and to find other ways to manage it. While they keep running a bunch of tests, everything points to round ligament pain. This is good and bad. Good because it isn't serious, bad because there isn't much that can be done. I am trying a muscle relaxer and a heating pad currently, and the combination seems to be keeping the pain under control.
In other news, the OB/GYN put me on bed rest, so I won't be teaching again until maternity leave is over. This was actually rather stressful news because my long term sub is not yet in the system, and we haven't had much of a chance to chat. Oh well, we'll get it all figured out soon enough!
We are thinking of you guys! Hope you find a way to manage the pain. Your sonogram pictures are amazing, three little blessings!
