Still on bedrest. Baby girl is still head up. I've not gained any weight, and neither has she, so we will be getting another growth scan in 2 weeks. I am still having nausea, but I haven't vomited in a week. YAY!!! I seem to be living on junk. McFlurries are the current craving. Well, really the only craving. I've been having to take flexeril for the extreme uterine and ovarian ligament pain. I'm not really sure why I'm having such pain since they've already been stretched once. I guess I'm a good healer. I didn't start showing until 28 weeks again. It was little later with Sir Chance, but not much later.
COVID-19 is making this a very lonely pregnancy. DH is not allowed at any of the appointments. Friends can't come and visit. I guess being on bedrest is a good thing; since we really aren't supposed to be leaving the house anyway. Toilet paper is still in shortage months later. IF you can find toilet paper, it's twice the cost. Hand sanitizer is basically Everclear these days. A lot of distilleries have stopped making booze and are making hand sanitizer. Now to top things, there is a shortage of coins. Stores are wanting exact change, or use a card. I'm not sure about going all cashless. Not sure I want the government that aware of what I do and do not purchase. It's bad enough as it is with the credit and debit cards. Door Dash and the like have become the new normal. No one is allowed with you at the hospital if you've been diagnosed with COVID. People are dying alone. I'm hoping come the end of Sept/beginning of Oct, when baby girl is born, things will have settled down and people will be allowed to visit. As it stands right now, only 1 person is allowed to be with me, and once they come, they can't ever leave if they want to stay. It's just sad all the way around. In the beginning of things, pregnant women weren't having any complications. Now 4 months or so into this pandemic, pregnant women are going on the vent, but they haven't had any deaths. The powers at be aren't saying if these women had other underlying conditions like diabetes or other autoimmune disorders. I hope it says that no pregnant women die, but as the virus changes, it could very well happen.
So, I just lay here and hope to get off bedrest next week and ponder what things will be like with 2 kids.
