Well I had another midwife appointment today. I found out why she keeps saying I may not be able to have a home birth. She says my diet is heading straight for Preeclampsia. Comforting. Even though I changed a lot and I'm eating better and everything this time around, she still says it's not good enough :( She wants me to add LOTS more protein, and more fiber. yay. (note the sarcasm.) She has a colleague who will be covering for her while she is gone in September, so if everything keeps going well in my pregnancy, things are still in line to have my home birth. I don't need her confidence. I am convinced things will be okay, just this once.
Anyway. My blood pressure is still good, 96/58... and I didn't gain any weight since my last midwife appt. (Still at 141 lbs thank goodness.) My uterus is growing at the correct rate though, so that makes the weight okay. Ginnie said that I seem to have gained alot in the first trimester, so that's probably why I haven't gained in the second trimester yet. Peanut's heartrate is still in a good range (144 bpm this time) and he/she was on the left side this time. And that's about it....
Baby BPM still says boy.... We'll see on Monday!
