Third Prenatal Appointment: 04/06/06

I had two appointments today: one with my Ob-Gyn and one with a nutritionist. We didn't get any new scans of the baby as he or she cooperated and we could hear a nice, strong heartbeat on the Doppler.

Blood pressure was high as I was nervous. So I'll be monitoring my blood pressure at home again -- no surprise there. As I drive into the parking garage at the hospital I can feel my blood pressure spike. I wish I could force myself into a calm state of mind for these appointments but so far I've had no luck.

In other news, the healthier lunches have contributed to me losing 6 pounds. If all goes well, I can gain 3 of them back by the end of the pregnancy. LOL!

The nutritionist was delighted and gob-smacked that I had bothered to keep a list of everything I've eaten in the last month and remembered to bring her the list. She read through all eight pages and didn't have much advice beyond drink one more glass of milk every day. She seemed surprised as to why I was there since I'm already eating a balanced diet.

Because of Labor Day, my C-section is now scheduled for Tuesday, September 5th.

The Cold, Day 2:

Sometime in the middle of the night my sore throat turned into a stuffy nose. With being pregnant, I already have a stuffy nose. So now it is like someone has filled my sinuses with cement. Normally I can sleep on my back with my head supported by a pile of pillows to help with the stuff nose but not while pregnant. Lying on my back leads to terrible sciatica pain. Some how I did manage to get some sleep and other than not being able to breath well, I'm feeling pretty good.
