Second Birth Center Visit - Week almost 12

My complaints and responses from my midwife:

Me: My boobs hurt soooooo bad. Midwife: They make maternity sports bras or you could just try something a little tighter to restrict movement. Me: I feel like tying them down anymore would kill me.

Me: When do I need take out my piercings? Midwife: Um, What do you have pierced? (I just assume everybody knows I'm pretty pierced up but she doesn't even know me so I had to tell) Me: Um, places that might affect my body during this pregnancy. Midwife: Well, you can leave your navel ring in until it becomes uncomfortable but the other ones you might want to take out sooner because you'll be growing so much.

Me: I'm still really tired. When will that let up? Midwife: It won't completely let up but it will get better. Just hang in there. Me: I have no choice.

Midwife: Have you felt the baby move at all yet? Me: YUP! Midwife: It shouldn't be constant at this stage but it will get more frequent.

Midwife: Do you have any idea what you might be having? Me: I have no clue but I feel like everyone tells me they just knew if they were having a boy or a girl. I have NO idea. I have no mother's intuition. Midwife: Do you want to know? Me: I need to know. I need to be in control of something.

At this visit Chef and I watched a video about eating right and exercising during pregnancy. The most valuable tip I got from this video is that Chef should be cooking for me since I'm sensitive to smells and exhausted.
The midwife came in to see if we could hear the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. I know this will be the most stressful time for me at every visit and I have no idea why. My heart started beating so fast. Out comes the warmed goobledygoop and on my belly it goes. As soon as she put the probe on my belly there it was. It was so loud and strong. The only thing Chef could say was "Woooow". Baby's heartbeat was measuring in at 145 beats per minute. This was lower than last time where it was 160 beats per minute but the midwife made sure to let me know that it's normal for it to slow down around the 12 week mark. I let them know that I switched to the most amazing gummy vitamins and that the morning sickness seemed to have let me be and she seemed hopeful for me.
