Week #8 First Appointment

Week #8 4/15/13
Baby is the size of: Raspberry

Weight-150.4
Change from last week: -.6

Symptoms-Really sore boobs, cramping on and off continues, nausea here and there, exhaustion, break-outs on chin, brown spotting, Food aversions-I can't stand veggies or protein

Food Cravings: CARBS! Seriously-Kettle chips, popcorn, chicken fingers (have not had in YEARS!), cottage cheese. I really want my diet to get on track soon! Nausea and food aversions just have me craving everything I don't normally eat!

This week was better than last week. We had our "real" appointment. We saw the baby again :). Heart rate was 144 and baby is measuring 7w 5d-2 days behind. It really grew the past week! I am really liking the doctor's office. So far, the NPs, Ultra sound Tech and front desk ladies are so nice.  We did the usual health history, blood work and pap smear. Dan really has a lot more respect for what us women go through! I did find out they want me to maintain pelvic rest. Yes Pelvic rest. No sex and no orgasms. Also, no exercise but "light walking" is okay. I am a woman that wants to work out as hard as I can and sweat as much as I can..light walking? Ugh. I am trying to figure out a new stress reliever  I can't orgasm, can't have wine and can't exercise. God help me through these next four weeks! I know it's all for the best though. I'm just not taking it very good!

I guess I thought it was be easier to have a "fit and healthy" pregnancy. I feel like I am failing myself. I am doing my best. Dan and I are going to start walking together on Wednesday. Something is better than nothing.
