Yesterday, at exactly 8 Weeks, John and I went in for my first prenatal appointment. The midwife says I look very healthy. I will be screened early for gestational diabetes as a precaution since I'm higher risk for that, but I've been very careful about what I eat. So even if I am diagnosed, the treatment shouldn't be much more than tweaking my diet a little.
They don't do routine ultrasounds this early, but have scheduled one for next week to be sure we're dating the pregnancy correctly. The tentative due date is May 8, but I do expect that to be pushed back a bit.
The nausea has been hard this week. I'm functional, but it's a struggle to eat and get the nutrition the baby and I need. I'm working hard at it, though.
I'm planning to tell my bosses today. I've been so green around the gills lately, they've undoubtedly guessed something's up. Easier for them to know when I'm scheduling a bunch of doctor's appointments. And when I need some schedule flexibility on the days when I don't know if I can handle the bus commute!
