We had our 16 week check up today. It was a quick visit (minus the hour we spent in the waiting room!!). The doctor used the dopplar and we heard the heartbeat again! It was very loud this time! It made me so happy to hear it. :-) The heart rate was around 150, so the doctor said everything looks good.
I have gained 9 pounds so far. The doctor said she recommends her patients only gain 20 pounds and that made me feel bad since I have already gained 9 so far. But everything I have ever heard or read says pregnant women should gain 20 - 30 depending on their pre-pregnancy weight. I started as average weight, so I think that as long as I gain only 25 to 30 pounds, I should be okay.
Someone should tell the doctor it's not OK to make a pregnant woman feel bad about how much weight she has gained! :-/
