Today's appointment was pretty cut and dry. Weight, blood pressure, and pee in a cup. I think they should have let me pee before getting weighed because I probably would have been a pound less. So I weight 146lbs. now according to the doctor's scale. Makes me want to vomit. Sigh. Met a new doctor today. She was very nice and friendly. Oddly enough they don't really do much at these appointments. She asked if I was feeling ok and that was pretty much it. I asked a bunch of questions that I had and then she tried to find the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. She warned me ahead of time that we probably wouldn't hear anything. That the earliest they usually try is 12 weeks but she thought that since I was thin there might be a chance to hear something. We didn't. Boo. And that was pretty much it. I think I was there for 20 minutes.
Oh. I asked if I could run/walk the Rock 'n' Roll Half-marathon Labor Day weekend. She said that I could!! I just need to keep my body in the shape that it's in, be aware that my center of gravity will be changing, and begin wearing a pregnancy support belt around 18-20 weeks. Excited!! The plan is on. Let's see if this baby agrees with it. What an active baby -- two half-marathons while in my belly :) We'll see.
May 16th we get another ultrasound - excited!
When I did RnR Virginia Beach last year, I got PASSED by a woman who looked about 8 months pregnant. That says something about how slow I am:/ I think you can do it:)
ReplyDeleteAs of right now... I'm doing it! :) Are you?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! You WOULD run a 1/2 marathon while pregnant...I'm trying to get pregnant so I have an excuse NOT to work out :P haha jk
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'll be running RnR VB. I'm a masochist like that. I hate being hot and humid. Yet, I'll run a race here in September.
ReplyDeleteYou can pass me just like the pregnant lady did last year. I can make it one of my RnR VB traditions.
