| Week 8 *pregnancy* |
Well I started out Week 8 of my pregnancy with my 1st appointment today...which was OB Registration. Nothing out of the ordinary occured...numerous tubes of blood, urine specimen, tons of paperwork...ect. ect. Everyones concerned with my high blood pressure..although it was fine today :) and i've been off of my medicine for it for about 2 months now. I think I will be fine. I have miltary insurance and the bloodpressure along with a family history of spinal bifeda has sent me straight from being a patient at our designated clinic to being a patient of the hospital on-post. My first appointment there will be Nov. 3rd..and will only be to find an alternative medication for my blood pressure. THEN on the 18th I will finally have my 1st real appointment and get to hear the babies heartbeat <3. This pregnancy was unplanned but me and my husband are both extremely excited..I had a misscarriage a little over a year ago so we hope this one ends well.
Two months before finding out I was pregnant I had set out to loose weight and get fit. I officially lost 16 pounds in 2 months..and had built myself up to running 1 mile with only a 2 minute break in between. I've been to exhausted lately to head off to the gym..but im hoping when my 2nd trimester energy hits I will at least be walking and such. Much to my suprise when I was weighed today at the Dr.'s I had lost 2 pounds since my last visit to the gym!! How that happened I have no idea. Although I've experienced some nausea and morning sickness...I have still been eating more calories than usual and allowing myself fast food and caloric drinks...such as juice. I'm crossing my fingers to only gain about 20lbs?? Im on a good track so far -2!
The only other symptoms besides the nausea and exhaustion would be that my poor boobs are extremly sore!! And oddly the only thing that sets off my bouts of nausea are highly perfumed candles/colonges/sprays ect and greasy foods. Well this is it for now...im going to enjoy my hotdog now :D
