12 weeks 1 day
The past few days have been torturous. Not only was I trying to deal with wedding information packet mixups at Staples, but I just wasn't feeling well. I haven't eaten dinner in a couple days because I've been entirely too nauseous. I'm still drinking water religiously, but it never seems like it's enough water. Also, I've noticed that whenever I get up too quickly or roll over in bed too quickly that my abdomen starts to hurt. I've taken to holding it whenever I switch positions or stand up, and it seems to help.
The most troubling part though is that I'm losing weight. I'm definately more noticeably pregnant now, but I've lost 4 pounds from my prepregnancy weight. I'm not sounding the alarm bells yet as I was 40 pounds overweight anyway, but it's enough to make me start taking my nausea medication more regularly. It's supposed to be a "take as needed" medicine, but I want to make sure I give baby every chance to be healthy by getting enough food. Although I would love if I came out of the pregnancy at a more reasonable weight, I'm still supposed to be gaining some weight, right?
I go back to the OBGYN tomorrow to get some tests done for down syndrom. I'll voice my concerns with the doctor and see what she says. If she's still unconcerned, then so should I.
