Week 25 day 7 healthier 3 (49-4)45
I was 12.11 exactly this morning. Feeling good. Attempted to walk down to m and s to pick up an order. got half way and had to sit down on a wall as I had a pain in the left side of my abdomen. I tried to walk again and could still feel.the pain. Turned and struggled home. I did walk 2 miles once I got home but I was very sore. The pain subsided after a long seat and some lunch of french toast with cheese. After lunch I had a naughty snack. Instead of coffee and a shot I had a hot chocolate and a shot. Really had a notion for chocolate cake. Hey hot choc is around 200 cal so not too bad. Gave the dog a haircut in the afternoon. The house is in deperate need of a clean. That's tomorrow's job. In laws are coming on Wednesday so need to get the house in order. We had a convenience roast. Mostly frozen food and it was not that nice. Counted it as 15pp. Dessert was lemon tart. I only had half because of he hot chocolate earlier. We took a nearly 2 miles in the rain however that pain started to return.

Gender: still.thjnkmuys a boy
Labor signs: no thank.god
Symptoms: I am.not sure why I have never mentioned this symptom before (maybe I have) but it's been an ongoing symptom however I don't know for sure that it's pregnancy related and may to see doctor about it. For the last couple of months I have had a numbness on my right thigh. Sort of like pins and needles that comes and goes. This sensation is getting worse and it feels like i have a hang burn down the front of my thigh. I have a midwife appt tomorrow and will ruin it. I think it may be to do with a nerve being pressed on. I can't believe I've never mentioned it. I did have this sensation on the outside of my left thigh around 14 -16 weeks. It o my came if I lay on my back in bed and would turn into.like an insect bite feelong. I actually woke up one night thinking a spider had bit me. That was in May. It went away and when I mentioned it to is wife she said to sew doctor if continued.
