Back from doctor...

I've been on bedrest for the last month.  I had my 2 week doctors appt today and I lost 2 pounds!!!  When they measured my stomach, at first the number was smaller than 2 weeks ago.  I immediately said something to the nurse b/c she didn't realize right away.  She checked the chart, had me lay further down and measured again and it came out 3 cm larger than the first time she measured me, which was 1 bigger than 2 weeks ago.  They said this isn't a concern at this point but if I lose wait again or there isn't more growth we'll be concerned.  Well of course that makes me worry already!  They are giving me another ultrasound when I come for my next two week appt to check the baby's growth, my cervix, and fibroids again.  I know the appt could have gone much worse, but I also wasn't expecting a new concern.  I spent the last two weeks worried about my cervix, now I'm going to spend the next two weeks worried about my cervix and her size!  Sorry for rambling on, I'm just so nervous.

Could it be that you lost muscle mass laying still all day?  Some people don't eat much if they're not doing much so you could have lost weight that way too.  Good luck...

I lost 50lbs while I was pg with DS...it will be ok. PP was right laying down all day will cause you to lose muscle mass...HUGS

wow..i didn't even think of just losing a little muscle mass.  Thank you guys.  I guess I just needed a little time for it to sink in. I feel much better this morning and I know the appt could have gone much worse.  Thanks again!!!
