Sorry I have been horrible at belly shots this time around! I had my 24 week appointment and it didn't go as well as I would have hoped, but wasn't horrible! On the upside I am measuring right on, my weight gain is right on, the baby's heart rate is perfect! On the down side I woke up with horrible cramping this morning and new something was up. By the time I got to the doc I had blood in my urine, my blood pressure was up, and I had protein in my urine. So he put me on antibiotics assuming it is a bladder infection, but we won't get the results back till Friday, but just in case it is he wanted to get me started on it and I will find out more on Friday, he is a little worried it is a kidney infection because of my back cramps. As for the protein in the urine-that is a sign of preclampsia along with the higher than normal blood pressure, but he is hoping the protein is just from the infection, and will continue to monitor my blood pressure. USUALLY you don't show signs of preclampsia till 30 weeks or further, but it can start earlier.
SO, I go back in 2 weeks (as long as it is just a bladder infection and the antibiotics take care of it), check everything and decide whether I will have to start on blood pressure medicine, have shots once a week to help prevent pre-term labor and have swab test every 2 weeks-that help determine pre-term labor.
I am not to worried about any of that though, I am sure it will all be fine and the medicine will start working and the other problems will diminish, but I guess only time we'll tell, but until then I am not worried at all.
Other Pregnancy Up-dates:
Milk makes me nauseous-and I love my cereal!
Chicken just makes me sick, it has to be super shredded or I just can't eat it.
I don't have much of an appetite, but am always hungry-I always have an appetite for candy and desserts-with Zach I could eat whatever and never be sick, but now some desserts and to much candy totally makes me sick-bummer.
I have to eat small amounts all day long-if I eat a lot at one time I feel so sick for the next couple hours-but sometimes I just can't help myself :)
He kicks all the time at night-and feels like he is doing somersaults
He hasn't had hiccups!! hooray! Zach had them ALL the time-to where they were annoying.
I have like 4-6 braxton hicks a day-but it really is no biggy because Sarah has them the whole time to and never goes early.
And I am always weak lately-I feel like the baby is sucking the nutrition out of me (maybe it is a vampire baby? jk after I wrote that first part I couldn't resist) but maybe that is just from the infection because it has just been the last week or so.
