1st not great OB appt

EMT

I had protein in my urine and had lost 3 lbs since last appt.  I guess not surprising since I had food poisoning Wed & Thurs. 

I'm gonna milk it for all it's worth though and emphasize to DH that doc told me to "take it easy!"

And can I be flameful and say that I'm actually happy that I didn't gain a bunch between appts??  I've definitely gained enough so it's not a concern (19 at 30W).  But, it would be so nice to end up a few lbs lighter than when I had DD (few less to lose).

Yikes.  Sorry you had food poisoning .  DH and I had it for 3 days about 1.5 years ago and agreed that if we had to live like that, we would rather be dead.  I am up 28 pounds at 23 weeks.  I am about on track to be the same as with DD.   Have gained 15 pounds in the last 5 weeks!  With DD, I only gained about 5 to 7 pounds in the last tri.  I gained most in the second.

First, I LOVE your new pics.

Second, I don't think that is flameful and I say at 30 weeks use whatever will get through to your H.

Not flameful at all.  I am so with you on that.  I want to be one of those people that has the baby and a few months later is back in my regular clothes.  After Noah, 20 mo later, I was still not in most of my regular clothes.  Then I got pg again.  Hopefully I will have a normal 10-15 to lose and not 50-55.  LOL.

I am so sorry, but I couldn't even get through the post because your daughters pics are so cute. She is absoulutly beautiful. I wouldn't stress about your drs appt. you will just have to tell your DH that you need rest and yes milk it for all it's worth.

Well, hopefully your DH is more sympathetic than mine is.  I think this, being my second pg, has him a little more relaxed when I tell him the doc says I have to "take it easy".

Sorry to hear about the food poisoning.  It's hard enough to be pg, without adding crap like that to it!

WOOHOO on the weight loss!  I so hear ya!!!

EMT

thanks ladies for the compliments on the pics!
