Symptoms and Splotches

Last Thursday I woke up with teeny, tiny little red bumps running under my chest kind of above my abdomen. Where my bra sits, but also above and below that. They itch slightly, but they went away after a shower. This morning, I woke up with them again. I read a few things about some allergic reactions to the placenta/baby, but before we get that far I'm going to just relax and let my doctor give me some feedback.

It could be as simple as a heat rash.

However, my husband noticed bigger splotches on my shoulders and upper back this morning too. So now I'm a big, splotchy mess. My skin is very sensitive, but I have not added anything new into my diet or clothing routine. It might be allergies to the spring, but I can't be sure. Friday cannot get here soon enough.

Also, the counselor I found won't take my insurance and charges about $50 a session, so I will keep on searching. Hoping we find someone soon.

I just feel so resigned to the fact that this is going to be bad Friday. I'm TERRIFIED. But... all we can do is pray and hope and get there and take care of myself until then. Tomorrow night I might doppler and see if I can find her. Last time I struggled to find her heart, eventually did way far to the left. I don't know, I am a hot mess.

That's all for now.
