No fun. I have had a migraine since yesterday afternoon — this is something that keeps happening in this pregnancy (I had another the other week, maybe even one more, which I didn’t write about,) yet nothing as bad as when I was pregnant with my only-thus-far girl in 1998. Anyhow, this is a bothersome one, with no DH here to aide me. I really wish it would have waited to start THIS afternoon, since he’s due home today. Anyhow, I didn’t feel so good the other night, and the next day I did feel better, but was so tired, and slept a lot off and on (napping) and of course, it was later that the migraine hit. Actual events may be flipped around some, I’m tired and sick of it and just not so good on recall exactly.<\/p>\n
OK well it wasn’t like that. I’ll leave the above and write it over below.<\/p>\n
Today is Friday: Thursday afternoon is when the migraine began in ernest, the pain started coming in, IOW. That morning I was active, made Ice Cream, ate breakfast, etc. It was the night before that I didn’t feel good. That was Wednesday. I was so tired upon waking that morning, and slept a lot THAT day. I had a late lunch that day, and it didn’t sit well with me, I got massive heartburn that nothing (Tums and Rolaids, at the least) dealt with for more than a few minutes. I felt fat, bloated, and miserable, and really just sank into “non-consciousness” as much as possible from 3pm onward. I was on the couch later, with the TV on, and awoke a few minutes after 11pm, felt much better and went to bed and read a bit, then slept alright.<\/p>\n
So I awoke the next day, Thursday, and felt productive and alright, ate and didn’t feel bad, and did some things in the kitchen, fed the animals outside, and practically didn’t sit down all morning. Mid-afternoon I was feeling tired, and realized that I’d been a bit crabby for a bit, to the children. I thought about it and the word “migraine” popped into my head, but I ignored it, then a bit later it was obvious into the pain stage, but mild and didn’t get “that bad” until much later.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if the Wednesday night thing was connected to the migraine or not, but I had semi-same feelings with the migraine last night after I tried to eat dinner and couldn’t manage to eat much. FWIW.<\/p>\n
Right now I’m up and functioning, but I don’t feel great at all, and WISH I could lie down and sleep, but I struggled to try and sleep all night and did little of it. I took at bath late, then a shower at 2am, then another bath at 5am, just to try to get some relief, relaxation to promote sleep. But no.<\/p>\n
Partially that’s because of my size now. I’m really uncomfortable in certain positions, some more than others. Lying down ain’t so fun.<\/p>\n
Also the temperatures went way down yesterday. Like this morning it was 50 degrees, and it’s usually, lately, at least 61 or more, often 63 degrees, to start the day. It wasn’t bad at first yesterday, then it got blustery and the wind was nearly bitter. It was bothersome, and since I have an inkling that barometric pressure sudden changes might be a trigger in me, I have today told DH that we have to get something to measure such things at our house. It’s not the ONLY trigger for me, I’m saying, just possibly one.<\/p>\n
I feel it in my bones, a cold discomfort, regardless of the in-house temperature, FWIW.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, baby doesn’t mind any of this, as far as it seems from the outside, baby is active, starting to really punch and kick quite hard more and more. There are about 3 months left, just under for my due date, and maybe over for actual delivery, if it’s natural and nice like #3 was. I feel so big, but maybe I’m not THAT big, it’s been over 6 years since I’ve been as pregnant as this. I can recall being pregnant at the end of #1 and feeling so big, it’s the “stick out” version of big, my babies all in the front. I have a few snapshots of me getting ready to go to the hospital after my water broke with my first, and I was very large. I don’t have photos like that for the last one, and I do have something sort of almost near the end for my second.<\/p>\n
Well, I know I can get larger and will. I know I’ll be more uncomfortable than now. I hope that the migraines won’t get worse, that maybe they’ll get better, less, less, less.<\/p>\n
