I had hoped that the first trimester symptoms would be gone by now, but they are still lingering. I’m still waking up in the middle of the night to urinate and sleeping is still rather uncomfortable. I seriously need to consider a body pillow and a thicker mattress pad for the bed. My moodiness is out the roof and little things can set me over the edge these days. I have started having some numbness on the left front of my leg when I stand still for a considerable amount of time. I had noticed it once before, a couple of weeks ago, but quickly dismissed it. I think that my sciatic nerve is beginning to get inflamed and will continue to pay closer attention in the future. I have read that as the uterus grows the baby can aggravate the sciatic nerve and it is not uncommon to feel numbness, even this early on in pregnancy. I’ve also read that the symptoms can come and go as the body makes way for the baby to grow. I’m sorry for yet another boring, somewhat negative, pregnancy status report. I definitely need to spice it up a bit…if only I had enough energy!
