Had my 35 week appointment today...
I was down a pound from last week and my BP was LOW. Still closed, surprise surprise - despite all the contractions I've had...
My urine, he said, was "junky" so they are doing a battery of tests on it and he checked my iron and thyroid again to see if that could be the culprit to my blackout spells - as I had another one this morning before going in. My iron was on the low side, but higher than it was when I had my GTT, so that's not the culprit... He doesn't think it's my BP or blood-sugar causing my blackout spells because after I have one, I feel CRAPPY the rest of the day (I was sick to my stomach the rest of the day Sun, Wed, and today...) and that if it were due to my BP, it should correct itself when my BP went back up and if it were my blood-sugar, I should be fine after I eat - but I'm not... Oh well! I'm not allowed to go very far by myself just in case I have any episode...I need to be able to be picked up. Just praying that I don't fall out in the middle of the wedding I'm supposed to sing at next Sat!!! If I have another episode this weekend, I'm to call the doc first thing Monday morning...
Anyway - Alex is fine! Last week when I went, he was measuring right on target, but today he was measuring a few weeks big (because his butt was sticking straight out!!). His HR was good. As long as he's healthy, I can deal with this! It's just 24 more days until my c/s...unless he makes a surprise appearance!
Hope you're all doing well!!!!
Hugs!

Oh, I'm sorry you're having these troubles and that the doc doesn't know what's causing them Rhonda. It's good that the BP is low (I hope it's not too low). I'm really glad to hear that Alex is doing well. You're getting so close to holding him in your arms! Take care of yourself and be careful.
Big hugs!
