I had my 14 week appointment today and everything went well. Sleep was discussed but since its off and on, there's not much I can do right now, but I can take Tylenol PM so that may help for the night after my bad nights. We'll see. Hopefully when I head back to work I'll just be really tired anyway and I'll sleep better.
The next four weeks will probably be pretty boring as far as pregnancy goes. The morning sickness should continue to decrease, hopefully sleep increases, I should gain about 1 pound a week for a while now, but I won't feel the baby kick or start to show until about 18-20 weeks. After my next appointment we'll schedule our big ultrasound for around 20 weeks, so around the end of September we'll get to see Baby T again!
I heard the heartbeat today, was still nice and strong and sounded good. The doctor showed me exactly where my uterus is now and about how big it should be. I was trying to feel around for it to find Baby T but was unsure exactly what it should feel like or where it would be at this point in pregnancy. So it was good to know what I'm looking for, by my next appointment the baby should be right under my belly button!
Blood work came back normal and apparently my iron counts are really good, which the doctor was worried about because of all the morning sickness, so that was good news. The doctor said my due date is 2/18/10. The doctors at the ultrasound said 2/15 but mine said that ultrasounds will give you a date within 3-4 days, so shes still going with 2/18. Either way its an estimated due date and Baby T will come when he/she is ready! So within that week maybe :)
Next appointment 9/18
