Today Jason and I went for my monthly Doctor's Appointment. The Doc. said that the reason I am getting lightheaded and feeling like I might faint could be because I am not eating enough protein or because I might have low blood sugar levels. I am going to start keeping track of my protein intake and get some protein style snacks. I also decided to give in and take Welbutrine, the anxiety will (and may already) cause more stress on the baby than I can accept. My primary care physician said it was okay and my ob-gyn approved it at the beginning of the pregnancy, but I wanted to see how long I could go without taking any medication. I realize that my lack of sleep and the physical affects of my anxiety are making this pregnancy more difficult than it should be- hopefully this will help a bit.
Then came the best part of the appointment- hearing the heartbeat! :) She started listening but couldn't find the heartbeat, though there was a lot of sound. She said the baby was moving around too much to get the heartbeat so we waited a minute and she tried again. She had to move down more to the bottom of my uterus and then we had a heartbeat. 145 beats per minute!!
Exactly three weeks till we find out the sex of the baby! I am sooooo excited!!
