Grief, Hospice, & Pregnancy: Weeks 16–18

Now, what I can tell you is I continued to not be nauseous.

So that was good.

I definitely was not eating as frequently as I usually do just because of, grief and being at the hospital and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And so, you know, I think if that had occurred during first trimester, I would have been like vomiting my brains out.

I would have been deathly nauseous and sick.

And so, you know, we are kicking in our second trimester that nausea ain't messing with us no more, which is really nice.

So there you go.

I can report that.

You know, I didn't exercise for about nine days while this was going on.

And so I can't really report, you know, how my movement was feeling.

But I do know when I came back to movement, you know, I felt a little like rusty because I had taken that like break.

And during that break, I think I was really not taking very good care of myself in terms of like I don't even know.

We don't need to go into it.

But like I wasn't really like stretching or going for walks.

Like it was really just like a very stressful few weeks.

And so I think all things considered, when I came back to a movement, I felt pretty good.

You know, I'm definitely having a lot of back pain.

And I had met with my running coach at the time in It was like September, October when I was really very newly pregnant, like six-ish weeks maybe, seven-ish weeks, eight-ish weeks.

And we had talked about how my sacrum has a lot of limited and reduced mobility.

So some of that back pain is from that.

But I think some of the back pain is just from the baby being so much larger now and their positioning and them, you know, just like the way they are in my pelvis.

So definitely I've had a lot of back pain this pregnancy, which is something that I did not have before.
