back from the OB

1) Apparently I have an anterior placenta, which no one told me about at the anatomy scan which may explain why i do not feel as much movement as so many of you - though i feel some.  It would have been nice if they mentioned it

2) They say i put on 9 pounds between my appointments and that is not good.  I told them that I thought that their scale measured me wrong last time - had me down 5 pounds.  So overall I have only put on 4 pounds and I was still read the riot act.  Annoying

I'm sorry. We so look forward to these visits to "check in" with the baby and when they turn out negative, it puts such a damper on things. I know how you are feeling...hang in there! At least, hopefully, baby is doing OK?

I was just told at this anatomy scan i had an anterior placenta as well and i think the only reason she told me was because i asked when MH would be able to feel the baby.

Thats so strange about the 4lbs! I gained 4 as well and i asked my dr if it was ok she said it was totally fine actually a little under what most woman gain!

the appointment was actually fine - i was just thinking that it was strange that the total gain was only 4 pounds since i have been pregnant.  I just need to up my cardio and lower the intensity they said
