So......my appt. went well & I didn't end up gaining 1 million lbs. in the last 4 weeks. Just 6. Not great, but better then like the 8 or 9 I was thinking it was gonna be. Yikes! I asked my doctor about what exactly my target weight gain is & she said anywhere between 25-35lbs., but that I shouldn't worry about it too much because my body will gain what it needs to gain. She said as long as I am not going crazy with my eating & continue making healthy choices all should be well. That made me feel a lot better. =) No scolding. Yay!
I also got my lovely Glucose drink to take home....it's orange flavored. The only good news here is that A. I don't have to fast before the test. B. I can drink it at home & then present to the lab. & C. I can just do it before my next OB appt. instead of having to make a special trip! I already put the syrup in the fridge to prep it. Both my OB & the MA put emphasis on drinking it cold! lol
I talked to my doc about the dizzy spells & she seemed to agree that they were normal so nothing to worry about there. My B/P at my appt. today was 110/78 so very good. BB hasn't been moving around much the last couple days & my doc said that was fine. He's still alive & well in there. HR today was 135.
Last, but not least...I booked all my future appts. up until the end of June! Craziness! It makes it seem like he will be here that MUCH sooner. My next appt. (which is 5 weeks out instead of 4) on May 9th will be my last every 4 week appt. I can't believe that I will be going every 2 weeks after that. Wow.
So glad your appointment went well! Crazy that you're almost to every 2 week appointments...BB will be here before you know it :)
