Whew! Alot had happened in the past month and I had MANY questions for my Dr.. I jotted them down on the back of a receipt and off I went.
I give my "sample", get my blood pressure taken, and get weighed. Then I wait for my very pregnant dr to come and talk to me. When I first started seeing her, I thought it would be awesome that she has little kids and is expecting her third. She'll know what I'm going through... and be more empathetic. I don't think I was right on that... I think she is less empathetic b/c she is super prego at this point and still working and has to hear people complain about being pregnant all day...
I break out my list and start going over my concerns... as I am talking she is looking through my chart... all the sound she looks up and looks kinda of concerned. Amanda, you have lost 12 lbs since your last appointment 4 weeks ago! What happened? What happened is that I'm pregnant and I can't eat anything and I'm not hungry anyways. Oh and I've been puking.
Before I'm allowed to proceed with my questions she writes a perscrption for some heavy duty anti naseau medicine. She tells me to try really hard to eat anything I want, ice cream, cookies, whatever I can get down. Just focus on calories, nutrition comes later in my case. Most any other time in my life I would be going crazy saying the dr told me to eat ice cream and cookies, I need it. Instead, I have the free ticket in my hand and sweets couldn't sound worse to me.
So I get my medicine and seriously within hours I feel like a new person. I ate some potato chips...they were delicious! The next day, same thing I felt like a normal person. Freedom... Mike took me out for a date to celebrate. I ordered some chicken and ate it :) Hooray!
