I had an appointment yesterday with my OB. I've gained 3 lbs in the last 4 weeks (which she was happy with - she recommended 3-5 lbs in that timeframe). I had put on a few pounds early on when I relaxed on watching what I was eating and got a little lazy with exercising because the fatigue set in before the nausea. So I'm up to about 128 lbs right now.
My blood pressure at the appointment was 92/68. Since it was a little low, my doctor recommended I be careful with getting dehydrated, especially when I workout. She recommended I increase my salt intake, especially by drinking sports drinks. I do get really dizzy every time I stand up so I guess that would be why!
My doctor did a quick ultrasound in the room. The baby looked great and was moving all over the place. It measured 57.6 mm or 2.27 inches long. That equates to a gestational age of 12 weeks and 3 days.
We also listened to the heart beat. It was just shy of 170 bpm. Heart rates above 140 are supposed to mean that the baby is a girl but I looked up Rylan's heart rate early on it was around 160. So I'm not going to believe the old wives' tale.
I'm still generally feeling horrible. There are days now that I have a little more energy and don't feel sick for a few hours so maybe things will actually get a little better next trimester - hopefully!
