Anyway, last night I suffered one of my imfamous constipation episodes (sorry, TMI), and swore I lost my mucus plug. It happened again this morning so I called my doctor's office and set an appointment, to which they could not see me until 3:30am (I called at 8:00am). So during the agonizing 7 and a 1/2 hour wait, what did I do? What any psycho prego person does--consult Google for my diagnosis.
By the time I arrived at the doctor's office a freakish 45 minutes early, I had determined I had lost my mucus plug, was going into preterm labor at any moment and had an incompetent cervix. Dr. Dave had a lot to say about this: "GET OFF GOOGLE"....as my poor friend Anna who has to hear my whining via text 24/7 told me, "STOP the madness!" lol!! The Doctor checked my cervix to which he determined all was fine, although he did mention my cervix gets irritated quite easily. He then did an ultrasound and gave me a couple cute pictures of our sweet little blessing who constantly scares mommy half to death (I know, I know, this is only the beginning). All was well and the doctor even said the baby was smiling and opening it's mouth! Super cute!!
After all was decided that baby and I were just fine, I got a lecture. I am now grounded from going around and running errands like I confessed to doing while on bed rest, and I am grounded from googling anything. Dr. Dave said that if I have a concern to just come in and that I do NOT have the credentials to be diagnosing myself...tee hee....but I thought everything on the internet was true!! LOL...
Anyway. I am just glad all is well and happy with the little munchkin. Here is the latest update:
Weeks: 14w 3d
Symptoms: Lots of round ligament pain and constipation
Movement: Lots at night time, the little goldfish is swimming around! Only a matter of time before I get socked right in the gut!
Cravings: Cookies and Yogurt (Those were Jeff's determinations lol)

Here's a little snap shot of this little turkey!
