Symptoms

Let me start off again by saying that I am so grateful to have had an easy pregnancy so far! No real serious/bothersome symptoms, aside from acne which is just frustrating and annoying, and occasional heartburn if I'm not careful.

This morning, I got strong leg cramps in each of my legs, separately, while I was still in bed. WOW the right one still hurts!! I have had very slight leg cramps every once in a while before I get up in the morning, maybe like three or four times so far, but I just flex my leg really quick and it goes away and I'm fine. This morning, whatever I did wasn't helping. It did go away after a minute or two, but all day my leg has been sore. Not good!!! A friend of mine said that breathing deeply and trying to relax can get rid of the cramp. I think I tried that, but I don't know how well I did at relaxing... hopefully this doesn't happen again, although if it does, I will try to do a better job at relaxing... and flex or massage my leg as necessary. Thankfully it's always happened while I'm still in bed, so at least I'm not going to fall over or anything!!

Food pt 2/Symptoms

So I know I'm not a perfect eater. I think I do pretty good, and even though I do indulge every so often, I usually can limit myself and not go overboard. Most of the time :-) So it's really frustrating to have this hormonal pregnancy acne. I know it's, if not caused by, at least heavily influenced by, hormones, but you would think that eating smart/healthy would also help with the acne... but I'm serious - my acne is the worst it's ever been. Probably TMI, but it's true, and it's frustrating. I know I've actually been pretty fortunate as far as not having a lot of other painful or uncomfortable symptoms, so I shouldn't complain...

Also, I realized I haven't put one of my symptoms/discomforts on here yet: heartburn! It took me a while to realize what it was, because I've never suffered from it before. And thankfully, it's been pretty mild when it has struck, but I have had some infrequent heartburn. Now I sit up after I eat and try not to lay down for a while afterward...

I've had a few moments the past couple of days (especially today) when I thought I might be feeling Baby move. I'm not really sure though, and I'm not convinced it was really Baby, so I'm not counting today.

Unless it happens later today! In which case, today would totally count :-D
