Holy bladder infection!
Monday I just couldn’t kick this stomach ache I had been having ever since lunch time. By Monday night, It hurt to cough, sneeze, bend over, walk, breathe……horrible pain. (At this point, I didn’t know what the hell it was…..something with the baby? really bad constipation?) About 3:00 in the morning on Tuesday, I woke up and called my doctor to see if they’d be able to see me in the morning. After going through all of my symptoms and ruling out all of the other possibilities, I realized that what I probably had was a bladder infection. Drew, being the awesome husband as he is, drove to the store and grabbed me a big bottle of cranberry juice (the REAL stuff) and tylenol. If you’ve never had REAL cranberry juice before, and I’m not talking Ocean Spray or the cocktail, you are in for a real treat! ICK! It’s like sucking on 20 bitter lemons! In the morning, I was able to see my doctor, listened to the heart beat (sounds GREAT!), and got a few tests done before they sent me off with some antibiotics. This pregnancy thing is not for wimps!
