State of the Uterus

23 weeks, 3 days
Weight gain: 10 pounds (total)
Baby's Heartbeat: 159 and kicking


Apparently the back/butt pain I've been having is actually sciatica, which is fairly common later on during pregnancy and it may go away once the baby gets larger and moves off of my nerve. For now I'm going to try out a maternity belt to see if that will help lift the baby off of whatever nerve it's on now. If that doesn't help, the doctor suggested seeing a physical therapist to get some exercises to alleviate some of the pain. And now I just need to get my glucose test done between Christmas and New Year's.
