Week 4: Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Weight: 130 pounds
Symptoms: breast tenderness, back aches and pains, headache

I had my blood drawn today for the second part of the HCG test (see Monday, February 1), and I also received my first RhoGAM injection. While at the OB’s office, the tip of my left middle finger turned blue again (see Friday, January 29); the nurse instructed me to call my primary care physician immediately. I did so, and I went directly to that appointment; the official diagnosis is Raynaud’s syndrome (or phenomenon), most likely a symptom of the pregnancy.
