38 Weeks: Sick as a dog!

Well...I ended up getting it...the flu that is. I was so lucky and careful this whole pregnancy and then BAM! I woke up Thursday morning not feeling well. That slowly worsened each hour and I rarely made it out of the bathroom. I could not keep anything down. I called the doctor office twice, but they said my baby should be fine. I felt the baby move all day and night..."he" was not happy with me. It was so awful. I felt like I got run over by a dump truck! I felt better today, just weak.

We had our checkup today and things went ok. The baby's heartbeat was 143 bpm and my blood pressure was fine. I did however lose 4 pounds from last week. The doc was a little concerned because I have been down the last few weeks with weight. I was measuring 2 weeks behind (still considered normal). But, the doc wants to do another ultrasound to check the baby's growth from our 35 week checkup. We aren't sure that is necessary...but are willing to do what the doc says to ensure things are fine. I'll keep you posted!
