My 32 week appointment was today. Not much to report. I've gained 3 lbs since my last appointment 2 weeks ago which is fine. I'm supposed to gain 1-2 lbs a week now until I'm done. Not fun but not the end of the world either since I'm sure a lot of it is water. If I've learned anything from the pregnancy I've learned just how much of the weight gain is out of your control. Especially if you're the water retaining type!
The baby's heartbeat was in the 120s today. That's lower than last week but still within the normal range of 120-160bpm. At one point the doctor pushed on my tummy which almost caused me to pee on the table. I guess he wasn't getting the heart beat he liked so he decided to wake up the baby? I asked if everything was ok and he said, "Everything is fine!" I thought it was odd that he didn't give me a reason for the shove -- but if he's says everything is fine then I guess it is.
Other than that they told me to stay away from salt and drink water. I wish I had a nickle for every time that is said to me! I also told hima bout my stiff hands/feet in the mornign and he said that's totally normal. The bottom line is all my suffering is normal and I have no reason for concern.
Tomorrow is 32 weeks and that means I'm 7 weeks from my due date! Yipee!
