If it's not one thing, it's another
I have been riddled with muscle cramps since Thursday. I think it's just muscle spasms at least. It has been difficult to breathe because of the restriction on my right side, high up, chest level that feels like a knife in my lung. Today the pain wrapped from the front to my back shoulder blade, up my arm and into my neck. Michael and I tried stretching and massaging it out, but nothing works. If I sneeze it's excrutiating as well as if I twist or bend or reach. Good grief I'm tired of having issues! I'm worried I might be really low on potassium or worse, have a swollen gallbladder. I had to call the doc today because I couldn't stand it anymore. He gave me 5mg of Valium to hopefully get me through the weekend and then I'll see him Monday. I think it's helping. If anyone has had similar experiences, I'd love some advice. I'm eating bananas like a monkey and drinking lots of gatorade.

It was great seeing you today!
also...Just a thought. A great place for information or possibly support is Mothering.com. If you go to the discuss button, there are lots of groups. i always looked and sometimes posted in my 'due date club'. There is a 'I'm Pregnant' thread, 'infertility' thread (which some people talk about in vitro) and so on, lots of threads. It is a really good place for information, IMO, and it is easy to find people going through what you are!!!
any news???
I'll second the advice of an online community. When I was pregnant with {p} 6 years ago, I joined an iVillage group for women with similar due dates. Now our group has moved to MSN,and it is a private group of about 15 of us who have stuck around all of these years. I feel like I know these ladies as well as many of my "real life" friends.
