Not much has happened since our last post. I did go the the OB and my PCP for some lower back pain, which is believed to be muscular. It is definately not nerve pain (I've read and have been told that the sciatic nerve is put under considerable stress when pregnant), I know how that feels, and this is not it. With very few imaging possibilities (xrays for example - not a good idea), it's difficult to figure out exactly what is going on. I have made an appointment to see a physical therapist to explore what kind of exercises and stretches will work to keep me moving. Between that and switching ice and heat, or the occasional Tylenol if I want it, that's about all I got. And it seems to be working pretty darn well. Other than that, our next appointment isn't until the end of April (on the 30th) - what seems like lifetimes away. Hopefully at that visit all will be good; we might be able to hear a heartbeat, and be welcomed into the second trimester!
