I never have any questions when I go to the doctor. However, when I'm pregnant and feel weird, I do mention it to the doctor. Last time around, I had some horrible back pain every time I moved for 3 weeks. It stopped the day before I went to my appointment, but I still mentioned it to the doctor. He gave me a look and said, "Well yeah, you're pregnant."
This week I have been feeling pretty bad. I feel both hungry and nauseated at all times-- sometimes a little more of one or the other-- and it only started this week. I mentioned it to the doctor and explained exactly how I was feeling. He told me about how my innards and guts [my words] are being squished and moved around, and these changes cause acid reflux and all sorts of other discomforts.
At the end, he smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, it will only get worse."
Joy.

Oh no. Yeah my doctor said to me,"So how you feeling?" I told him the pain and discomforts I was feeling and then he said,"Well you still have a ways to go." Thanks doc! Yes the joy! :)

Sorry about the prego discomforts. I know how that is... I would warn you about the back pain, if you are having trouble with your back-go see a chiropractor. I never did anything with my back trouble with Brodi and then after he was born I paid for it with months and months of treatments.
Good for you for signing up for a ballet class! I've always thought something like that would be fun, but have never actually done it. Hope that it turns out well.
