Wow yesterday and today I am having major "growing pains" in my ligament area! My belly seemed like it doubled in size over night! I even was at the bank and the cashier lady was brave enough to ask me if I had a baby on the way! She was rather gutsy to ask that since I am not HUGE but guess I am huge enough for people to feel comfortable asking which doesn't bother me. Those things dont bother me. I have had a cold the past couple of days so been home pretty much the whole time so went and worked out tonight and I am starting to feel the "winded" feeling when I exercise or just exert myself. Colin keeps thinking I am "huffing and puffing" and mad so he keeps asking me "what is wrong."
I also found out that the reason I have been so stinkin' tired is that my iron level is really really low so I have to start taking a supplement to help that and she said I should start to feel more energized once that kicks in. I also ate a can of spinach today to kick start it. I noticed when I was googling what foods are filled with iron that I should eat a sweet potato, more red meat (I eat more chicken right now), spinach and even quinoa is a good source of iron. I have started to eat oatmeal in the morning that is the lowest in sugar that I could find without having to create my own flavor and I add some raisins in it and that has been a good breakfast for me. I started that after my blood work was done so hopefully it gets better and I can stop feeling so extremely exhausted!
If anyone has any good remedies for ligament pain let me know!!
you look really cute!
ReplyDeleteMy iron is low, too. Hard to eat red meat when it makes me throw up :) Iron supplements tend to make pregnant ladies pretty backed up, if you know what I mean, so just watch for that. It's no fun.
I'll be seeing Dr. Joella at JP Chiropractic soon. She's Webster Certified and really an expert in the area of prenatal care. Seeing her would probably help a lot with the ligament stuff and any other pains that start up.
Thanks! It comes and goes. Colin goes to a chiropractor in Kingston so I might get a couple of massages down the road or the YMCA offers it through Harrison for not too much but we will see. I am trying to just stretch more and that seems to be helping. I am not good at stretching before working out so this will make be get better.
