Today I had my doctor's appointment, and it went great. The baby's heartbeat was 158 beats per minute. The baby was really active, every time the nurse found the heartbeat the baby would immediately move and she would have to go find it again. I was able to ask my doctor all of my questions (I had a list)... The name of the bleed I have is a subchorionic bleed. They don't know what causes it, but from what I read in my pregnancy book it occurs in about 1% of pregnancies. The fact that mine keeps getting smaller, is a relief. She could not tell me if my placenta previa was full or partial because it is too early in the pregnancy. They told me last week not to lift anything heavy, and I asked how much weight they considered heavy, and she told me nothing heavier than a grocery sack. As long as I don't start spotting I am allowed to travel, which I was very happy to hear. The results from last weeks testing are not back, but she was able to tell me the back of the baby's head measurement was ok. Now I just have to wait for the blood test results. She did say everything else on the ultrasound looked ok. I have an appointment in 3 weeks for a regular check up, and then also I will be getting another ultrasound to check on the placenta previa. And most likely I will find out if we are having a little boy or a little girl. I can't wait!! One thing I was not too thrilled to hear today was that there is a new amount of weight pregnant moms should gain during the pregnancy... It used to be 25-35 pounds. And I even went over that limit with Landon and gained 40 pounds. Well now the new limit is 20-25 pounds!!! I told her how much I had gained with Landon and she said it was too much, and she jokingly told me she would yell at me if I gained that much. Well, I told her she was going to have to yell at me then. There is no way I am going to gain under 25 pounds. As of right now I have gained 3 pounds.
