just wanted to share a few quick health updates before I go back to bed. I've caught some sort of cold and am sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling woozy. I'd really love to nip this one in the bud before going into labor! luckily, it does not seem to be developing into strep, which I'd initially feared, so I'm sure some rest and lots of liquids will help a lot.
this weekend during acupuncture I had electro-stimulation after my regular treatment for my faintness. I don't know whether it's the acupuncture or something else but I've certainly felt better over the past two weeks. the electro-stim was nutty--my acupuncturist needled a different set of points and then plugged in something like a TENS machine to the ones in my hands. the gentle electrical current through the needles stimulated the muscles in my hands, which were twitching continuously the entire time. it was super cool. also, during the session, I had what I suspect was my first "true labor" contraction, because I could feel it in my back as well as my uterus. obviously I did not go into labor, but it was really neat.
tomorrow I have another prenatal visit and another acupuncture session, so I'll keep you posted.
