I had my 3rd prenatal appointment today. The doctor used his doppler machine and I was amazed at how quickly he is able to find the baby's heartbeat vs. when I try to do it at home. I guess that's why he's the doctor. Anyway, baby's heartbeat is nice and strong. He felt my tummy and said my uterus is growing and right on schedule, so it's not a big deal that I've lost weight. I love my doctor, he even told me that I should just eat whatever I want. If I'm craving something, just eat it. That's probably why I've lost weight....I try to avoid bad foods and nothing else sounds good, so then I just don't eat, which isn't healthy for anyone. So I'm going to try to be better.
Other than that, he gave me a prescription for my headaches that I can take "as needed". It does have some caffeine in them which I guarantee you will help my migraines. He said it was a safe level, but I will still only use them when I absolutely have to. I'd rather sleep it off if I can.
I made my next appointment for 4 weeks on September 9. I also scheduled the BIG ultrasound for the same day (right before my doc's appt). I'm not sure if it's good or bad that the ultrasound will be on 9/9/09. I also found out that they just got a new ultrasound machine and it does 3D...I'm so excited!!!!
In other news, I have found out that 2 people I know have found out they are also pregnant. I won't reveal their names, because I don't believe they have told everyone. But I'm super excited to be able to share this with them and we can all go through it together. I'll update again when something exciting happens...hopefully feeling the baby. Otherwise, it will be after the big ultrasound.
