I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me complain LOL

Those microwave things are great and probably safer than a heating pad anyway. It should be pretty safe for you but you may want to check with your doctor to be sure. Those Icy Hot patches might have a warning on the label to warn against the use during pregnancy.

When I was pregnant(both times), I had leg cramps/restless legs. It was maddening. It kept me awake. I think your Mom is right....all this is just an exercise in preparedness for the upcoming event

Well I do have that mother's curse..... "I hope you have a child JUST LIKE YOU" I know what I was like LOL that's not good hahahaha. But I see My brothers two kids and my step sisters kids and they are hellions... my mom insists I was never like that.... I always called if I was going to be late... I was trusted to be home alone for long periods of time without worry I would destroy the house or throw a party I didn't have permission for... etc etc. I didn't run away from home. i just cost her a lot of money in my time. LOL I guess that is SOME consolation lol.

I haven't had the leg cramps yet but I am being warned it might happen. I figure this nerve thing keeps me up so might as well add leg cramps into the mix. hehehe

It is kind of fun though because there are a lot of people around me that either just had kids... or are pregnant and farther along than I am. it really helps to talk to them... and some of our friends just got pregnant and are 2 months behind me... so it's nice to be able to give them "advice" too... makes me feel special hahahaha

I truly believe that you sound like you're on top of the world. It's a great feeling and nothing else can compare to it. I used to enjoy being pregnant so much. Have fun and I hope the pain leaves quickly
