John and I went in for our second midwife appointment this afternoon. Not much to report. We scheduled before the dating ultrasound, so while we originally thought they'd try to hear a heartbeat, it's still a bit too early for that. My weight looks good (I've actually lost since getting pregnant) and my blood pressure was fine as well.
The midwife answered a number of questions for us, primarily about my nutritional intake while I'm feeling as sick as I am. She reassured us that I should be feeling much better in the next couple of weeks as I cross over into Second Trimester territory, and prescribed an anti-nausea med for the plane trip to Hawaii, just in case. We go back the week after we're home from vacation. They'll try the heartbeat then, and I'll also do my first glucose test. (Early, as I'm at high risk for developing gestational diabetes and we'll want to keep an eye on that.) We'll also assess whether my morning sickness is still bad enough to prevent me from gaining any weight. Hopefully not! I have every intention of enjoying several bushels of pineapple next week.
