Prenatal Visit

This was my first follow-up visit since I got released from the hospital. Everything seems good.

Blood pressure: Normal

Weight: After gaining a few pounds in the hospital (too much food!!) I lost two pounds so my grand total is 14 pounds.

Fundal Height (distance from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus): 33cm

Additional comments:
Doctor says I could get another bladder infection, but we'll hope for the best. My iron is very low, and while I still have an appointment with a specialist it's not until the 11th of October. In the meantime I need to double dose my Iron supplement. My crazy itching is normal, if it gets really bad I can take a Benadryl. There's nothing I can do for my new disgustingly large and swollen ankles (just appeared two days ago!!) but elevate and "give birth". Umm...thanks Doc! ;)

And finally, post bladder infection, the only pain I'm experiencing now is due to baby's latest sleeping position--butt in the air on my right side which creates a very hard and lopsided belly and TONS of pain for me!!
