Low energy...

...Most likely due to a dip in iron. After almost a week of exhaustion and daily naps (different from sugar crashes that I've dealt with), I consulted my doctor and searched the web. I was relieved it didn't sound more serious! I checked my pregnancy vitamins and behold - 0% iron. I was taking the gummie over the counter ones since they didn't bother my sensitive (to vitimins/suppliments) stomach. So I switched to a liquid with iron and shifted my diet. Feeling better but still tire easily as well as get winded. Bending over and lifting is getting harder. I think being home with my girls makes this my most active pregnancy; Even with all Rick's and my moms help. Overall, I think the baby and I are back on track with being 31-ish weeks along.

At the last check-up, dr encouraged me to stick with the more robust vitimin and the better/more varied foods. The baby's heartbeat and activity is excellent. I'm not swelling or having any bleeding. We are healthy. The only thing we still are watching is the placement of the placenta. Next appointment will be another sonogram. We are hoping for continued movement - to have full clearance for baby's path. More updates to come. :)

  1. I'm glad you are starting to feel better! It's no problem helping out, I'm happy to be of help :) I pray too that the placenta moves and that birthing is easy...(I wish your liquid vitamin tasted better for you!)
