So I do conference calls at work about 3-4 a week, they last about half an hour. I do 95% of the talking, I find myself so incredibly winded, it's hard to breathe, and keep up. I try drinking water, talking more slowly. This is obviously new and I'm sure pregnancy related.
peaseblossom55 , I hate to say it but it'll most likely only get worse. Your lungs will have less room as your stomach gets bigger, which makes it harder for you to breathe. I know at the end of my last pregnancy I would start sweating I would be so out of breath during presentations. It was awful. Hang in there!
Yay something to look forward to!! I figured it would get worse before it got better I will survive.
Hi, ladies! I went to the doctor this morning and thankfully I actually had a for real appointment scheduled, haha. It went fine. Baby sounds good, but my BP is still on the high end. They're going to have me monitor it at home and if it's high at my next appt I'll get a MFM referral booooooo.
Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope the BP goes down next appointment and you don't need to see the MFM.

We had our 16 week appt today which went well. Baby's heart rate was 145. They didn't like that I had lost weight but what can you do when you throw up every other day.

In 40 minutes I'll be free of this work environment. Super stoked for a long weekend (yay weddings!) but not looking forward to an outdoor event in Houston heat. Or the drive, for that matter. Although, 12 hours is on the low end of our driving average for trips.
Glad to see that appointments went well today for the most part! rinny, I hope your BP figures out how to adult and calm down!
meeggaannw, how did your appointment go today? Were they still concerned about your weight? I hope you're starting to turn a corner too.
Thanks for thinking of me. It was a bit pointless but I knew it would be. I did gain 2 lbs which they were happy about and heard the heartbeat so I can't complain too much.

I really need to get to trader's Joe or whole foods for something different. I need to stop eating like a 4 year old, today's dinner was a veggie burger oven fries and some grapes.
Started monitoring my blood sugar today. So far all of my readings except my fasting have been in range. I suspect part of that is because my hands weren't completely clean when I pricked for my fasting. I washed them, but we didn't have any alcohol swabs.
