I had a pretty good appt today. I only got to see a nurse, but that is OK because she spent a lot of time with me answering questions and seemed pretty knowledgable.
I gained 6lbs last month. The nurse started to give me a hard time and told me to make sure I only gain .5-1 lb a week. I asked her to look over my weight gain from the entire pregnancy and tell me if I was doing OK. Since this is the first month I have gained anything, she said I am fine and am just doing a bit of catch up. So as of now, I am plus 6 lbs.
Told her about the low pressure I have been feeling lately and she said it could be caused by my low placenta. Still hoping that thing moves up and out of the way so I can try for my VBAC.
Baby is measuring perfectly and heartrate is strong. He kept kicking her when she would try to measure me and it was making her laugh.
I go back in 2 weeks for my GD test and have an u/s on Sept 1st to check on the placenta.
Luke never ever sits still. He really squirms all day long. Wonder if he will have a hard time getting comfortable after he is born. I am counting my blessings though because his kicks are so light in comparison to Nathan's. Nathan's hurt so bad! Luke is just squirmy, haha.

Awww, I love it when they wiggle around. Sounds like everything is going well. I'll be sending vibes to get that placenta to move on up!!
Glad all sounds like it's going well! I can't believe you're only +6 lbs 26 weeks into it! That's great...don't have to worry about losing it all after the fact....like my 40 lbs!!
I remember that low pressure! Mine was from a surge in prolactin which relaxes joints which caused my hips to give me a lot of pain. It also didn't help that Lakota was so far down in my pelvis...but that did come in handy for the birth! :)
