U.B. grows, at the expense of my internal systems

The reports are in from our triple-screen and the radiologist who looked at U.B.'s ultrasound -- everything is completely normal. Yay! Onto expanding at an exponential rate.

And on that note, while I know this is probably physiologically impossible, it feels like U.B. is stuck up in my ribs. Especially at night, I literally have to sit up straighter and push down on my ribs because they hurt so bad. And don't get me started on the nighttime heartburn, yee-yuck. At least U.B. is getting plenty of calcium from all the Tums I'm ingesting, but it is no fun for me being preggers at nighttime right now.

I had that with Ben. I would actually have to push what I believe was his left foot/knee out of my rib cage in order to take a deep breath. As for the nighttime heartburn, I was plagued with that too.. my doctor prescribed me prescription strength Pepcid, which was an AMAZING amazing drug and actually allowed me to get through the night with minimal heartburn. You MUST GET IT. The Tums? My heartburn laughed at those...

Yahoo! So happy to hear it! I have a short torso so Liam actually stretched into my right side. It was so painful and I cannot even remember it! Ah pregnancy brain...

Erin -- bless you, I am SO getting some Pepcid. Yes, Tums are completely ineffectual. It is pretty frustrating.

I "almost" forgot what a painful time that was. Clayton wedged himself in my ribs for a long time. I felt like I had broken ribs when he would kick me. I also noticed at that time that my bra became tighter. Hopefully he will get too big and move back down where he belongs!!
