Today was a bit scary for me. For the past few weeks I have been feeling flank and lower groin pain. I know that most of this is normal as I "stretch." However this pain was weird and this morning, while flipping over I felt sharp pain... I had enough...
We went to the Memorial Miramar ER where I got all sorts of check ups. It turns out that I am 10 weeks pregnant not 8 and that I have a UTI.
This is GROSS but also common... so, me who wont take anything more than an Asprin for ANYTHING had to take ZOFRAN for nausea while I drank a gallon of water for the ultrasound and now for a WEEK I have to take MACROBID for the UTI.. I have been assured by several people that its OK....
oh well.. I am very happy I decided to go the ER because a UTI can cause me to lose the baby.
While they did the ultrasound I was on high alert to see the baby and the heart beat... at first I could not see him... (it turned out they were looking at my Ovaries first.. which has a cyst in it too! DAMN IT!) then I saw him and the flicker of the heart beat... it was a relief...
So I am good for now... took the nasty MACROBID, ate and am looking foward to wash my hair and sleep on clean sheets!

I just recuperated from a UTI as well...it's my third ever. I had one when I was pregnant with Junior, then another one last year, and now my third one...DP! It happens girly, nothing to be embarassed about! Again, congratulations on the pregnancy, I am so happy for you! I thought you were planning your wedding, it never even crossed my mind that you might be planning your baby shower!
