Well, according to ivillage many tests may be in the near future for us. We'll have the option of getting various tests done to make sure things are 'growing' and 'developing' properly.
Things that I've personally experienced: A Lot of lower abdomen and rib pain. My guess is that its my body (pelvis, uterus, cervix, etc) getting adjusted. The pain typically only lasts a few minutes. I am definitely going to mention to Dr. Brown when we go Thursday (Jan 31). I have gum soreness, especially when I brush my teeth. My books say that's normal too. And, as always, I am still out of breath at the slightest little thing - even just talking for an extended period time makes out of breath. I've tried to increase my exercise. For the first 10 weeks, I had to pretty much hault all activity b/c I became very dizzy and faint feeling. So, now, I'm trying to get some sort of activity in for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Hoping that will improve my oxygen uptake, and I won't give out of breath so easily.
Also, Sajid and I are sick with a cold. We both have terrible head and chest congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and head aches. I don't feel good at all, but poor Sajid is worse than me. His eyes are almost swollen shut.
Other than that, the pregnancy is still going well. It seems that still each day I become aware of someone else who is expecting. It's amazing to me how baby's seem to come in waves.
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY BABY
The baby's skin is very thin right now--blood vessels can actually be seen underneath it. Its covered with fine, fuzzy hair called Lanugo, which will not fall out until the baby nears full-term. -ivillage
