Today's appointment and class
Well, since last Tuesday I lost a lb. my iron went up from 8.3 to 9.1 (before the iron shot) But I kinda fudge on my iron intake (shhh) don't tell anyone. LOL Not to worry I told the Dr. I was supposed to be taking 2 a day and I have been taking 2 but every other day I took 3. I just made sure I got plenty of fiber foods to go with it. TEN weeks and TWO days till the due date. Not that I am counting or anything. I took an iron shot in the right butt cheek and a betamethasone shot in the left. I go back tomorrow for another iron shot and another betamethasone shot. I swear my body looks like that of a druggie. I up to this point would have considered myself to have needle phobia... I am beginning to wonder what that is. While I do not want an epidural, I jokingly told the nurse today that I thought I could handle a needle that big... Prenatal class went well ~ we have three more classes to go. I will also be going to a Breastfeeding class on 3/20 this is in addition to the other three classes still required.. Brian is glad that this is one class that isn't required of him ... I thought we were going to need smelling salts for him tonight. They showed three childbirth movie clips... Natural, with pain meds via IV and an Epidural.
