Week 34

Week 34

 I had my OB visit, where I was informed that my nutritional status is, and I quote, "that of a person living in a third world country"! I am not really sure how that is possible, considering I get a healthy delicious meal made for me for dinner every single night, and I have gained 31 lbs since getting pregnant. But the numbers don't lie...

My Iron is very low and I am B12 deficient. I was instructed to take two Iron pills every day and I have to get a B12 shot once a week. Luckily, my mom is a nurse and can administer the shots so I don't have to go to the doctors every week. If my Iron stays low, I would have to get a blood transfusion at the birth. Good news is, I should be getting my energy back soon! 

I am very excited for my next ultrasound to find out if Chloe is growing! I am convinced she has grown a lot because her kicks and movements are becoming extremely intensified! I don't think a 2lb baby would be causing the movements that are going on in my stomach! 

I don't remember if I wrote about having a hernia in my previous posts. But not to my surprise, I have got a very painful hernia in my pelvis. The doctor says that it could have been caused from physical strain or stress. The pain started the day after we moved into our new house so I am assuming that the move caused it. They can't do anything about it until my pregnancy is over, because the only cure is surgery. Oy Vay.... It never ends! 

But it will all be worth it in a few weeks when I get to look into the eyes of our beautiful baby girl <3
