Had an appointment yesterday. More of a quick check-up. The doctor was able to find the baby's heartbeat immediately, 160 bpm. Everything is looking good so far and surprisingly my weight gain is also on track (I was a little concerned)! I have another check-up in 4 weeks and then an ultrasound around 20 weeks. I'm looking forward to feeling the first tiny movements. Along with the heartbeat, I was able to hear the baby do a few flips already!
Most of my food cravings have been simliar to my first pregnancy. Here are some things I'd love to have RIGHT NOW:
- Chick-fil-a Original Chicken Sandwich, extra pickles
- Wendy's Frosty or a milkshake
- French fries
- Jimmy John's #11
So apparently I'm hungry for fast food...
I can't help but compare my pregnancies. This time around, I'm experiencing a lot of the symptoms/aches and pains from the very end of my first pregnancy almost immediately. I already have some trouble sleeping because I'm just generally uncomfortable and my back has been bothering me. I've had a few cases of heartburn. I have to go to the bathroom...a lot. The doctor said this is all normal and with each child these symptoms will creep up sooner and sooner.
Check back in a few weeks for another update and my first belly pic!
