Weight: -2 lbs
The baby now weighs 1 lb 7 ozs and continues to measure ahead. On average he's measuring 23w 2d but some body parts are measuring 24w 2d. My cervix is still long and closed and the placenta is still in tact.
They did notice 2 fibroids which I now know have been the culprit of all my additional pain & discomfort. The u/s tech mentioned that the 2nd trimester is when you start to notice them more as there is more blood flow to the uterus and they thrive on that. But the Dr. said that he doesn't foresee any issues or problems with the fibroids. So I guess I'll just continue to take Tylenol to ease the pain.
Today's visit was the first time my weight gain, or lack thereof, was discussed. Although the baby is growing on track, if I continue on this track of weight loss, it could cause issues with the baby's growth in the future. So the Dr. encouraged me to start eating a little more. It's not like I'm not eating, and at work I snack often. But it's kind of hard to put on weight when your nauseous and throwing up on a regular basis.
That is great that the baby is doing so well. Just try to eat a little more like the dr said and try to sit still more. Hopefully once Carl gets home things will be easier on you.
ReplyDeleteWow... So he's already measuring 24 weeks in some places. YAY! And he's already over a pound. That's great news. He's going to be Justin's BIG little brother! Cute.
