Yep, had my appointment today and I'm up another 5 pounds. They say in the 3rd trimester you should gain 1 pound a week... I'm gaining 2.5 pounds per week. Oops. Marie (midwife) did ask what my typical diet during the day is like and she said it doesn't sound bad at all. She then said maybe I'm getting too many extra calories from sugary drinks (sodas and juices)...but then I told her that I ~only~ drink water. (Well, except I allow myself at most 1 soda per week.) I also told her that I have been having a small glass of calcium fortified OJ with my breakfasts the past week to help combat the night time leg cramps.
She noted the swelling in my legs, but still no BP issues or headaches or vision changes or spilled protein, so no concerns at this point. BP was 130/70.
Baby girl is still head down! YAY! Her back/butt is on my left side so the movement I'm feeling under my right ribs is her feet and knees. That's definitely where I feel the most active movements.
We got our "white packet" today... contains all the info needed for filing for the birth certificate, preregistering at the hospital, info on breastfeeding, discharge info for after delivery and that kinda stuff.
Next appointment is on August 30th with Kate. Then the next one after that is on September 13th with Graham. ... and THEN... I move up to weekly appointments!!!
