So here goes Post #1
I had my first OB appointment today. We did an ultrasound. It put me at 6 weeks and 4 days which means I am due on March 5th, 2013, which is now my official due date for the remainder of the pregnancy.
A few fun things to keep track of
Nausea and Vomiting in full force right now
Craving sweet things (watermelon, candy)
Hating salty foods
Loving me some milk and yogurt
My mood swings are pretty bad right now :(
My heart rate was 80 bpm (which is great for my past health problems and problems with my thyroid).
My blood pressure was 113/64. Which is another great one!
I weighed 200 lbs (yes I just broadcast my weight) and that means that since finding out i was pregnant 3 weeks ago I have not yet gained any weight.
The baby is about the size of a blueberry and has started to form the nose eyes and mouth. There are buds on the side of the head there ready to become ears and there is buds that are ready to grow into full length arms and legs. Its heart is started to form and is beating healthily! The blood has already begun to pump through the body. Its intestines, kidneys, lungs, pituitary gland, brain, muscles and bones have started to form!
I was able to see the heartbeat on the ultrasound which made my day and has made me much more calm and relaxed! Also, my doctor went ahead and got me anti-nausea medication since I am having a hard time actually keeping my food down after consuming, and the constant nausea and sleeplessness due to the nausea that I am experiencing. Hopefully it will help me sleep better and be able to function better!!! So yay for that!
The only problem presented at this ultrasound is that there is a blood clot above the pregnancy in my uterus. It is small at the moment and for now is just something that has to be monitored. I have been ordered to take it easy, rest as much as possible, no strenuous activity, and to drink lots of water! I can do that :) Hopefully it will dissolve on its own and there will be no problem and that is what I am speaking in the name of Jesus! So as of now everything is fine and the pregnancy looks great and I am doing great!
So there is post #1 about Baby #3!
