Week 30 Dr. Visit...Check Check

Today was the 30 week check in at the doctor. I passed my glucose test (yay on two accounts, one, no gestational diabetes and two, no extra syrup to drink). Weigh-in went ok. I am up a total of 15 lbs and after a quick trip to the bathroom at Walgreens, I bet it is only 13 or 14 lbs. Uff! That's a whole other story.

My blood pressure, good like normal. LBF's heart beat is where it normally is. The doctor measured my uterus (didn't see what she wrote down this time). We chit chatted quickly and I asked about my upper tummy/rib pain. She said it is probably a combination of all things being pushed, stretched and moved along with acid reflux. She then asked me if I take any Tums. I said yes but I limit my intake to no more than 4 a day. (recall, she told me my limit was 4 or 6 a day.) She proceeds to tell me I can take as many as I want they aren't harmful and asked me if I wanted a prescription for Pepcid. I said no thanks but I will try the over the counter. So, I just finished supper and think I am going to give it a whirl. If that works I am going to become addicted because this pain is out of control.

Oh, my only negative thing was I am a little low in the iron department now that I basically have given up eating meat. (not by choice, just a weird preggo texture thing.) I also picked up some iron tablets at Walgreen's today. I will start those tomorrow and hopefully between those and a little rest this weekend, I will be feeling a little better. I am in the home stretch now. Bi-weekly visits to the doctor, birth classes start on the 14th, and before you know it I will be spitting out LBF.
