Today I had my 16wk appointment with my OB. It was just one of those quick appointments. I got to hear baby's heartbeat on the doppler. It's dropped a little, from 169 down to 158 bpm. According to their scale, with clothes on and what I gave them as my pre-pregnancy weight (which was actually pre-IVF weight) I have gained 6lbs. My doctor said that was perfect. Yeah! My next appointment will actually be my targeted level II ultrasound. I can't believe I'm only 4 weeks away from being half way through this pregnancy.
Besides a few episodes of RLP (round ligament pain), I continue to feel great every day. I really can't complain. I'm getting excited to start to feel baby move in the coming weeks.
It must be getting close to time to start buying stuff for baby and working on the nursery. (I can't wait!)
What's happening with baby: Week 15 - Naval Orange
Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.
*I need to try to get these weekly updates posted closer to the beginning of the week, not the end of the week.*
