I had a doctors visit this morning. It's now the final four weeks and I get to go in once a week at this point. Today was rather standard, weight, bp, measure and listen to the heartbeat. I successfully am continuing the 1 lb a week (standard at this stage in the game). I don't know how, though, as I ate tons of bad food on Superbowl Sunday.
The heartbeat thing never gets old. I wish I could just have something attached to me with headphones so I can listen 24-7. I am sure this has not been invented as to avoid making preggies like me super paranoid.
I also asked my doc about swimming in a swimming pool in the final month. She said it's fine (sigh of relief). She mentioned that some doctors warn against it because you won't know if your water breaks in the pool, but she also said that one doesn't normally gush water from that area after getting out of the pool, so it will probably be obvious. (Please ask YOUR doctor before jumping in a pool in the final month, though, but I got the okay.) This makes me less paranoid about the fact I DID go in the pool last week, but I am still torn because my dad recommended against it. I should just suck it up and enjoy the few lazy days I have left.
So, lucky things so far today:
1 - "normal" weight gain
2 - O's heartbeat sounds good still
3 - Swimming was okay.
And, the fourth thing is that I went to Jamba Juice after the doctor's visit and on my way to work. I ordered a small smoothie, but the server was not paying attention and I got the "power" size. I am not sure how large this drink actually is, but I am only half way through after 3.5 hours. (Maybe this will counteract lucky thing #1).
