1. Lucy is still measuring a little big.
2. Strong Heartbeat. =0)
3. I have not gained any weight the past three visits. My Dr did not comment on this so I am assuming everything is fine but I am curious as to why that is. If she is growing, I should be gaining weight, unless I am losing and she is gaining then we would be even, but that means that every week I personally and losing weight as she is gaining weight. I am eating. I am not eating as much as I thought pregnant woman were supposed to eat, but normal amounts of food, and not all healthy food either… a tad perplexed.
4. After my next apointment on the 11th I will go to weekly visits. He is going to set me up for a sonogram and he will check my Uterus. Holy Moley. Do you know why they check your Uterus? Honestly Lucy… I would rather you just stay in there. I mean, I am excited to meet you, and I am sure that you are cramped but I am realllllllllly nervous!!!!
5. The bad news. Please, please, please pray for me/us.
So, I was informed by my doctor yesterday that my iron levels have not gone up, still at a really low-level. Low iron is not uncommon in pregnancy but the supplements and the vitamins are not helping as they usually do. At my next appointment they will test my blood one more time and if the levels do not go up then I am going to have to see a Hematologist and most likely have an iron infusion. At my level I run a very high risk of having to have a blood transfusion when I go into labor. This is not good. I am really trying not to worry or be anxious but I am really struggling.

Are you still drinking a lot of iced tea? The tannin (sp?) in ice tea can block iron absorption in the body. Also, eat raisins or clams if you like them. Both are high in iron. I only know this because I give blood on a regular basis and when my iron level has been low in the past they recommended these things to me.
