24/25 weeks
Nothing to report. I don’t remember my blood pressure but it was, like, 106/60 or something close to that. I go in on the 9th for my glucose test. I’m up to 128, still 7 pounds shy of my unpregnant goal weight for my height, but at least I’m still gaining weight. Being underweight is just as much a problem for me as being overweight is for others but people don’t like to hear about it. Whatever. I need to pack on the pounds, I know I do. I’m trying.
The midwife asked me about 20 times if I had any questions for her. It must be different to have a 3rd time mom in there than, say, a 1st time mom… especially one that went through all this just 18 months ago. My only concerns were being hypoglycemic which I almost was last time. She said just constantly be eating something, constantly be snacking, lots of fruit, lots of fiber, protein protein protein, nibble nibble nibble. Back to the weight issues. See? They are issues for me. Other than that I had no concerns. Nada. Zilch. Easy-peasy. David even came to this appointment. It wasn’t very exciting, but he did get to hear the heartbeat. 130’s to 140’s which we already knew thanks to a friend loaning us her doppler. (Thanks Amy!) This pregnancy has been so uneventful… and I couldn’t even tell you how far along I am, other than when I’m due. I simply don’t keep track!
