The Journey of a 440lb Pregnant Lady - Nov 2 - Dr's Visit

0 Recommendations

So,

On monday I had another visit at Univ MD, and everything went well.

My blood pressure and vitals were all great. AND - my stress level was non existent because I went in ALONE!!!!!!

I have not gained even an ounce since I have been going there which is great.

However I do believe at the next visit I will have gained something, because my pudding face you know has to start putting on some weight and everything.

Speaking of my angel - once again, we tried to peak at gender, however once the Dr put the instrument in a spot and waited for the baby to settle down - the baby TRICKED us, did a turn so we could not see the gender at all, and started jumping up and down like an Aborigini. (This child will indeed be a spit fire).

I was more receptive to the Dr this time as I wasn't stressed out, etc. And the Dr in turn was finally able to listen and hear what my wishes were as far as testing, etc goes for this pregnancy.

Soooo, I am doing well, my little one is doing well, and everyone is happy with the progress, etc.

The only that added (which I knew it would be) is Vitamin D, because now instead of literally having almost none as I did BEFORE I was pregnant. I now have some, however it's "a little low" from the Dr's mouth.

My thought - well it's gone considerably up if she only wants me taking a supplement 3 times per week.

Before I was pregnant I was taking 3600mgs DAILY.

I'm seriously amazed at how this pregnancy has caused my body to balance itself out.

I today am going to start putting my photo album together for the baby with all of the keepsakes from pregnancy and all of that so far, and will continue to complete it, during the pregnancy up till it get's filled up with the pregnancy things, and my baby's first things!! I think it will be a very nice keepsake book for my angel.

My next visit is Dec 8, in which I will Def not be leaving until they find the gender because I am having my anatomy ultrasound at the Advance Prenatal wing. Soo, I have plans to go in there completely alone.

I have invited my baby's Father out of courtesy - however if he doesn't come, I'm completely fine with it.

I want to be the first to know the gender of my baby and I don't want anyone else to know, until I am ready to tell them.

Soooo - Yeah, I'm in a pretty good position right now as far as my pregnancy and everything is going.

On tuesday I will be 4 months even.

Keep the Faith!
