Today was our first midwife appointment and everything went well, I think. :/ :)
Since we are moving, she didn't do any blood work and said they can do that later (I really wanna be tested for toxoplasmosis - since Caesar is such a good hunter and always eats his prey). And since I had an ultrasound at week 6, she did no internal or external exam.
But she did call the healthcare center in Åmål, and got some numbers for us to call so we can fix an appointment there.
She took my blood pressure, and that was 130/65. And she said that was fine.
My iron was at 138. (Which she mentioned something around 124 for a pregnant woman, so my results are great.) And my glucose was 5.1. (Which she said is allowed to be up to 9.)
She was really happy with these results.
And she had a few questions and it took only about an hour, but we didn't get in until after our scheduled time, and she was on the phone for awhile .. so the appointment wasn't really that long.
She complained about my weight (of course), which bothers me and makes me extremely depressed......., but that isn't for me to complain about here.
She said that I "can" continue to lose weight, as long as I do it properly and the baby continues to gain weight. (It wasn't a suggestion, she.. was pretty persistant.)
After lots of time and lots of weight loss and she can make me feel like a complete failure.. ugh.. ehh.. crying a bit much now.. :/ :T
So, we'll see how that goes.
But it seems like I am pretty healthy anyways, and if I'm healthy, the baby is healthy and that makes everyone happy.
