A Bright Sunny Day
Ahh... the sun is shining, the air is warmer, no Spring isn't quite here yet, but... I actually almost feel normal again!
Yes, I haven't shared it much really, but I have not been feeling like myself for the last few months. Last week I was actually starting to get worried. I had absolutely no motivation. I did not even want to shower! I never go without a shower.
I talked to my midwife about it and she suggested I start taking some iron. I wasn't super low, but low enough for me. I was also starting ween myself off the Diclectin. I was afraid to cut it off cold turkey for fear of getting sick, so I started to cut out one of the four pills each day. I have been off them for two days and on the iron for five. And amazingly I don't feel like I am dragging my feet anymore. And I actually feel like doing stuff! I know it has been kind of boring around here, but I just wasn't doing anything exciting. It was all I could do to keep J occupied all day long.
It also has helped that I picked up a doppler on Monday (for rent) from Fetal Assure. I thought I should get one for a couple of months so I don't have to constantly be wondering if there is a heartbeat or not. It has only been a couple of days, but I feel reassured.
And today is trainer day. Good thing I feel better. I was wondering on the weekend if it really was a good idea to go see her as I wasn't quite up to it yet. But, this morning I feel like all is well and that I will benefit from seeing her today.
So happy Wednesday all, let's hope this renewed feeling lasts with me at least until July or August.

Glad you feeling better. i wa like you for 8 months of my PG and I took NOTHING. No enegery at all.
Have fun with your trainer.
Glad you are feeling better! I remember the diclectin making me feel rather drowsy, I can't believe taking 4 a day! I have to wonder if that's part fof your feeling a little 'off'.
After this cold spell, the weather looks UP UP UP and we are well on our way to spring and summer...hooray!!
So glad you are feeling more cheerful. And enjoy your trainer session!
Spring will be here any day, really, it will!
Happy day, BeachMama. Hang in there, summer and the beach is right around the corner.
glad to hear you are feeling better!
