Check-up 13 weeks 3 days

Today I had a general check up with my midwife. We discussed a few regular things like my weight and other complications. I feel absolutely fine the last few weeks. The tiredness is becoming less and less and therefore I get more energy to do stuff. Then we listened to the baby's heartbeat. The tools the midwife uses are more detailed than my Angelsounds, but it was so special. I heard my own heartbeat together with the baby's heartbeat.

I started to gain a little weight over the last few weeks though, but nothing to worry about. I have to say I am not really comfortable with gaining weight again. Three to four years ago I lost about 30kg's with Weight Watcher's and after I met Eric I gained about 15-20kg back. It's making me really insecure knowing that I will pass the 100kg this pregnancy. I know it's normal to gain weight and I'm trying to eat healthy now....but still....it's so against my nature of always dieting. But the midwife said that I did a good job...1kg in only a month. That may have been 2kg....so I am right on track. 12kg's in total is the average, but I've really had nightmares of me gaining 30kg this pregnancy.

Eventhough I am not the slimmest person in the world (and I don't want to be either) I am not a risk with my BMI. But because I am over 30 BMI I will get two extra ultrasounds. One with 30 weeks to see if the baby grew good enough since the 20 week ultrasound. And one with 36 weeks to see if the position is right. So there are a few advantages of being big, LOL....I want every opportunity to see my baby!

So....no pictures this time...but a longer story.
I think it will be great to read this back after a few years....

See you soon!
