I had a regular check-up yesterday and all is well, thankfully. My blood pressure was great at 120/70 and even though my doctor wasn't concerned with my weight gain, I was. I gained 5lbs since my last appointment which makes a total of 11lbs. It is hard not to compare pregnancies, but I was hoping to gain around the same as I did with Maggie (16lbs), but it looks like I will likely go over that number. The baby's heart was beating strong at 150bpm and it was reassuring to know that she was head down. We went over the glucose test I will be taking at my next appointment and she also gave me the hospital registration forms to fill out.
- How many weeks are you? 23 weeks / 1 day
- How are you feeling? Movement has increased substantially which is wonderful. I feel her move many times throughout the day, but there are still days that I don't feel her as much so I know it won't be consistent until a little while longer. In the evenings and at night I have become more uncomfortable. My energy seems to still be up so that's good!
- What are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to hitting the viability mark next week!
