14-1-2009 - 26 week checkup

My mood while writing this blog: Doing ok

---

Ok ladies...so i just had my 26 week checkup. At my last check up (a month ago) I had gained a total of 3.5lbs. Now after the holidays I was pretty worried going into this appt because i definatly did not hold back when it came to endulging in all the goodies. Well I gained another 5lbs this month putting my grand total at 8.5lbs. I was a little concerned but my doc measured the height of my fundus and reassured me that the baby is in the middle of a growth spurt as i am measuring 3 weeks over. 29cm instead of 26cm. I am a bit relieved after hearing this. I also have been having dizzy spells and blurred vision and just as i suspected...my blood sugar is low and blood pressure is a little high. She wants me to start my 2 week visits now to moniter this and hopefully I wont need to be put on meds for it. So things went pretty good.....till the next check-up...ta ta.

Sounds like it went okay. Hopefully that BP will get low and stay...I know the dr's get kinda picky about that...and the weight isnt bad at all!!!
