We had our appointment last week, all is well. I first felt the baby unmistakably Jan. 3rd while trying to fall asleep for my early morning flight to WI. Traveling went well, although I had to opt out of the x-ray screening through both security checks. Got a nice pat down. Oddly, at my check-up my B.M.I. still hovers around underweight, yet I'm 5 pounds over my target for 22 weeks. I've gained a total of 20 pounds so far thanks to X-mas, New Years and Mom's b-day! I'm advised to cut down on carbs. We also learned that I have an anterior placenta (on the belly side) which is buffering my baby movement. She says I will be thankful in a month or 2 when I have the padding in front to lessen the kicks when I'm really uncomfortable. Of course, now that I went home and Googled "Anterior placenta" I learned it's the the worst position for C-section, though Dr. Zino didn't mention it. I'll ask next appointment. She also was loosely feeling out Doug to find out if she needs to worry about a woosey daddy at delivery. Doug thinks he'll be fine.... Next month we get sent for screening of gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. I'm thinking I'll be fine since I'm still comfortably getting my daily 4 miles.
