Who'd a' thunk it? When your body streches to accomidate for another living being inside, you start to get pains in the area that streches and grows to accomidate for it! That's the new ouchie on Caitlin's list of annoyances. Sore feet is not new, since she works retail and is on her feet for her entire shift most days. But abdomen pains, that's new. Her belly is going to grow out, and streching skin does involve some resistance from the body, which hurts.
When the skin expands gradually, I suppose it's not that bad. But when it's a sudden burst of expansion, such as when the uterus expands to the size of your hand, when it's usually the size of a potato chip, that's going to hurt substantially.
At least the morning sickness is under control. Sort of. It's still a gamble as to what will stay down and what won't.
Swimming will definitely help out though. We still have seven visits left on the card, and I don't think they ever expire. Being in the water helps Caitlin relax, and I like the whole bouyant feeling too. Hopefully next time we'll be in the pool for longer than 25 minutes.
