I had my monthly OB-Gyn appointment today with Dr S. I have now gained a total of 2 pounds with this pregnancy, which I was surprised that it wasn't more since I am really puffy (probably from the pizza we had for dinner a couple of nights ago). Exercise and eating smart is keeping me on track. I don't limit my calories but I don't let pregnancy be an excuse to get out of control. Especially knowing how salt can affect me and the water rentention I incurred with my previous pregnancy. We discussed my "low-lying" placenta, which she reassured me isn't anything to worry about. It is not in a "previa" position and it is common for a low placenta to occur when there has been a previous C-section. I need to be cautious of heavy lifting, nothing over 20 pounds and to only lift Matthew when it is necessary. Luckily, he hates to be carried which makes it better for me.
The Mattman came to the appointment with me since Tony has Reserves this week. I'm truly amazed at how well behaved he was at the Dr's office. He just played with his Hot Wheels and sat in his stroller with limited whining. I'm still having a bit of nausea...mostly as a result of diapers. I'm trying to introduce potty training but with lingering morning sickness, I'm finding it is not a successful operation for Mommy. The Braxton-Hicks still hit me with intensity some days but they aren't frequent enough to worry about. I'm having a lot of pain in my left hip, mostly first thing in the morning, so I'm sure its a result of sleeping positions. Overall, feeling pretty good, especially when I can squeeze in an afternoon nap.
