Pregnancy Update: 20 weeks
* I’m halfway there. Only 4.5 months left! Time’s gone by fast and slow at the same time.
* I’ve started getting horrible leg cramps at night that make me shoot straight up in bed. It’s awful!
* I’m still amazed when I catch my stomach’s profile in the mirror. It was cool at first, but getting bigger every week is awkward.
* I’ve finally gotten used to sleeping on my sides and back. I’ve always slept on my stomach and I truly miss it.
* Sometimes when I feel Jack move around while I’m standing up, it takes me by surprise and I jump a little.
* When I lay down on the couch or in bed, I’m suddenly out of breath. I can feel my heart racing and it’s hard to relax. Eventually, it settles down, but it’s still annoying.
That’s about it for now. The end.
My nurse told me to drink some Gatorade before bed….something about the potassium. And lots of Leg Stretches!!!
