Ouch
This weekend I took a short road trip to visit my husband’s job site. It wasn’t a far drive and I enjoyed myself. Sunday evening on the ride back home my tail bone began to hurt. I wasn’t too concerned with this being my tail bone has hurt on and off throughout my pregnancy. This time it hurt a lot more and a lot longer than it has before. Sunday night I was not able to sit at all or lay on my back and the pain lasted all of Monday. Today, I’m still in pain, but not as much. I read that this is a common symptom of women as their pregnancy progresses. I must say this is the most painful and uncomfortable thing I have experienced so far. An article mentioned that a donut cushion could help alleviate some of the pressure.

Too much or not enough
“Wow, you don’t look like your four and a half months pregnant. You just look like you ate a big meal”, “You’re only four and a half months? You look like you’re farther along than that.” or “No, you don’t look like you’re to big or too small, you look perfect. It’s just because you’re so small.” Hearing all of these comments on almost a daily basis can be somewhat worrisome for a first time mother. Am I gaining too much or not enough. According to my doctor I’m not underweight or overweight and have nothing to worry about. Hmmmm so why all the different opinions? I’ll have to take them for what they are “opinions” and not let myself get caught up in them.
