Sooo Tired
Well I haven't written in a while mainly because I am so very tired all the time. This pregnancy is much different than my first pregnancy. There are so many differences I can't pinpoint a single source as the reason. Obviously, the triplet pregnancy is a major difference. However, in addition, I am also 8 years older. I think being pregnant at 33 is different than being pregnant at 25. My job is also rather stressful. So is it the triplets, my age, or my job. I suppose some combination might be the easiest way to explain it.
I've been wondering lately about when the doctor will suggest I go onto bedrest. This issue like many others gets a different response from each doctor I talk to. And yes, I talk to lots of doctors. Really just 2 groups of doctors. My primary doctor which is a practice of 5 Ob/Gyns and then the Fetal and Maternal Medicine doctors which is a group of 3 doctors. So between the 8 doctors I sometimes get 8 different opinions on things such as when I should stop working, my activity level, vitamin supplements, even when my next appointment should be..... you name it. At any rate I am gathering that somewhere between 20 and 25 weeks they will put me on "bedrest." I think it will be closer to the 25 week timeframe because I am getting very close to 20 weeks now and they aren't hinting that I should be going out real soon. I am a little afraid that I will show up for an appointment and they will say that I need to stop working right then and there. The exact definition of bedrest I don't know. Stay tuned and I'll let you know. I'm sure I'll have tons of time on my hands whenever that happens.
