Still around....

Oct 26, 2009

It has been so long since I have posted!! Since becoming pregnant, I feel like I am such a different page as everyone else.
In a nutshell, I am almost 9 months along, with 25 days to go. I have gained about 12-14 lbs for the pregnancy, and have managed to avoid going on insulin. Blood pressure actually dropped a bit about 2 months ago and hasn't gone up at all. Compared to my first pregnancy where my blood pressure required an early induction, and the diabetes required 10 shots of insulin a day, I am doing really well. The only issue that we are monitoring right now is that my amniotic fluid is low. I have my next ultrasound on Wednesday to see how it is going.

After the baby, I know I will be around a lot more as I work on getting back on track. My pre-pregnancy rules are three meals a day, no snacks, mostly protein. Due to pregnancy, that has all gone out of the window, and I am probably able to eat much more now than I should be if I hadn't gotten pregnant.

Vitamin levels seem ok, we check them frequently. Currently taking 2 prenatals a day, an iron supplement, 3 DHA, b12, folate, and of course, lots of calcium.

Feel free to message me if anyone is looking for pregnancy information. Hope everyone is doing well!
