Chef skipped out on this visit because it was on his day off, and he had to prepare a surprise for me for our last Birthing from Within class. At this visit I accidentally watched way too many videos. I was just supposed to watch a 15 minute video on pain coping during labor but I watched the videos that were planned for my next visit as well. Whoopsie. This time around my midwife was the owner of the birth center and I haven't seen her since my orientation. She's awesome. She told me that my iron levels would be checked again at my 34 week visit as it takes a little while for the Floradix to work its magic. Then she wanted to check on baby. Her heartbeat was 148, but as usual it took a while to find because she wouldn't keep still. The midwife said, "I was going to ask you if you had an active baby but there's no need for that now."
The handout I was given at this visit was on placenta encapsulation.... say what? There is a post to follow this one on my thoughts about that.
I've finally started to gain the weight that baby needs for her fat accumulation. Since my last visit I had gained a whole pound putting me at about 20lbs gained so far. With 8 weeks to go I figure I might be in the 30-35lb weight gain range and I'm not upset about it. I'm literally all belly right now and I'll take it.
