the complaining begins

Today I felt the first twinges of the return of heartburn, so I feel the need to list my general pregnancy complaints at 28 weeks. All of these complaints occurred during my first pregnancy, but I managed to bury them deep deep down. They are back to mock me.

Lower back pain. This time, I'm aching only on one side. I think this is from holding Little A on my left hip. He is 25 pounds now so I'm not surprised.

Inner thigh pain. Who knows? Pressure from Baby 2 on my pelvic floor? Will my bladder prolapse?

Heartburn. Here we go again. Boy oh boy, break out the Tums, I'm on a calcium high.

Sharp pain under my ribs, upper left side. If I keep my posture perfect, it's not so bad, but after a meal, I'm screwed. The last time I was pregnant, the doctor sorta chuckled when I told her about my sharp pain. She had no ideas. Liver? Nobody seems to care. Only three more months.

Terror of diastasis. I'm sure it's already too late. I'll need to go nuts with Tuppler so I don't pooch too badly postpartum.

Stretch marks. Please please please don't make them worse this time around.

More bitching later.
