Preparing for the arrival of your baby can be stressful in the last few months, although you shouldn't stress your body, for me it’s when all my troubles started. After my first trimester and the end of spring semester my pregnancy was smooth sailing. I went to frequent checkups, I had an appetite again, I felt like myself again only with a belly forming in front of me. It wasn't until I hit my seven month mark when I experienced horrible back pains. There was no medicine, heating pads or massages that could make the pain go away. My baby had found a comfortable spot and she stayed there for about a month. At that point my due date couldn't come fast enough for me. Once the back pains stopped I caught a bad cold and developed acid reflux. Anytime I drank anything that contained acid, I threw it up. One morning I felt so bad and could not deal with the pain in my throat and chest from the acid reflux that I went to the emergency room. I basically told the doctors my diagnosis and after some time it was confirmed that I indeed developed acid reflux. I was told to drink Gatorade and take medicine but the Gatorade contained acid that burned my chest as did everything else I drank and the medicine was not working. As the weeks were coming to an end I could not be more ready for the arrival of my baby.
