Here we go again...
My most recent appointment didn't go as well as I had hoped. I could tell I (and baby) had grown a LOT in the past two weeks. I'm now measuring 35 weeks...yikes! My blood pressure is up considerably to 138/95 and I'm anemic. I have to take iron supplements in addition to my regular vitamin. The iron always makes me feel really nasty. But the anemia at least partly explains why I've been so darn tired. I also gained nearly 5 pounds in the past two weeks. This is exactly what happened when I was pregnant with Hannah and things started to go downhill. At least I haven't started swelling yet. Maybe it's all just a fluke and everything will be back to normal when I go back next week.

So sorry. I hope it is a fluke and things will be back on track next visit. Praying for you.
Hang in there. You're almost done. At least you've been through this before and you know that the outcome was a healthy baby!
I'm praying for you!!
Yikes Lauren, I'm sending good vibes your way! I hope you get some energy back from the iron without feeling too bad. On a positive note, I bet the baby is super happy :)
I praying for you! Just remember the wonderful gift at the end. The ups and downs of pregnancy are totally worth it and forgotten when you're holding that sweet baby in your hands.
