So, tomorrow is another big ultrasound day. I’ll will be 8 weeks and 1 day from LMP. I still have never had an ultrasound quite this early (usually at about 8.5 wks), but I’m hoping we see something tomorrow. I’m optimistic, but in the back of my mind I still know that we may not see anything. If that’s the case, I’m sure I’ll lose some of my optimism, at least for a little while. I still have no signs of miscarriage so I’m hoping that’s a good thing. No spotting, no decrease in pregnancy symptoms (not that I had much to begin with).
In other news, I called a chiropractor this morning to schedule a free consultation to see if I can afford going in at least once a month during pregnancy. My back hurt so much during my last pregnancy (it was just about impossible to find a comfortable position toward the end) that I just want to help prevent and alleviate that as much as possible. I already feel it starting so why not check it out now right?
I have a free consult scheduled for Monday morning. After that evaluation, they’ll be able to tell me what the cost would be. Unfortunately I don’t have one of those medical plans that includes chiropractic care - shucks! This provider does offer a bit of a discount to members of the insurance I do have so we’ll see how much that helps. They do also offer massage. It would be $45 for an hour which isn’t bad or $11.25 per 15 minutes with a 30 minute minimum. I think I can at least afford a half hour massage each month. This provider does accomodate women who are expecting in their chiropractic care as well as in their massage therapy. Ideally, I’d like to be able to see the chiropractor every other week and the massage person once a month.
