It's like I'm back in the first trimester. Just about anything can make me tear up. Yup, I'm back to crying when the puppies on the news are rescued. I don't know what my problem is. I've never read that this is a common third trimester occurrence, so perhaps I'm just weird.
Speaking of weird, on Sunday night I was suddenly struck with the chills. Even though it was 71 degrees in the house (a temperature I would normally describe as "sweltering"), my teeth were actually chattering. I took a shower to warm up, and soon after I realized that I had a fever, too. No other cold symptoms. Just fever and chills. A couple of hours later, I called the midwife on call, who suggested I take Tylenol. Now here's the weird part. Within a half hour, fever and chills were gone, and they never came back. What the heck? Who gets a fever and chills for only three-and-a-half hours?
Welcome to the land of hormones. I had the weeping disease on and off during my pregnancy and worst of it was toward the end. I broke down in Office Depot one day trying to pick out ink for my printer. I think I scared the poor young sales girl.
ReplyDeleteGood news! It doesn't stop after the baby comes. It does slowly wear off. I am almost back to normal 3 months later. :-)
