29 Weeks

So the last couple weeks have been a little stressful and trying to figure out what my body is doing. Since getting home form Mexico about 6 weeks ago I have been having parasite type symptoms but originally was told it was just due to the position of the baby. After talking to my dr after about a month of these symptoms she informed me that it wasn't the baby and sent me promptly to see a GI specialist. He ran several tests all of which came back negative, which is nice but still didn't know what was wrong with me. After some more invasive testing the drs determined I have ulcerative colitis. Luckily nothing more serious and to this point it hasn't effected the baby. Hopefully after some baby safe treatment we can get it under control. Being pregnant is hard and I don't know how women did it before modern medicine. Hopefully after a couple weeks I will be back to "normal" at least for now.
