Im so behind on life these days. ive got about 5 minutes to write this out before I have to start running around getting kids ready for school.
I had my appt with my midwife this past Thursday. I was 26.2 weeks (today I am 26.6 wks!).
I had a 10lb weight gain since my last appt 5 weeks ago. So again this time I am managing about 2lbs a week :(
Blood pressure was perfect. Babe's heartbeat was 150. I am measuring on track this time. She said last time I was slightly bigger. Typically when I get into the later part of my third trimester is when I start measuring bigger so we'll see. She thinks I will have a smaller baby since I am eating healthier this time around, but with my weight gain who knows.
I had this conversation last night how I am eating a ton better than all my other pregnancies put together and yet this one is by far the worst one. Makes me wonder.
She did a 1 hour finger poke test for my sugar. my lunch consisted of a salad and an apple. About an hour before my lunch I had a snack which was a granola bar. My sugar level was too low which just confirms I still have hypoglycemia. Which also can take an effect on my weight since my metabolism is slower than normal.
My midwife still thinks I have some sort of insulin resistance.
I did a full blood workup last week as well and im not anemic and my thyroid is perfect.
In a way I wish I did have confirmation of having an issue so I knew what was going on. All I can do is keep eating as best as I can and hopefully not gain a ton more. Im looking at close to another 30 lbs if I am doing 2lbs a week. Insanity!
