I went to the doctor yesterday for a bi-weekly check-up. My weight gain, blood pressure, protein levels, glucose levels, and most importantly, iron levels are great! The doctor said very few women make it through pregnancy without any anemia issues and that I am one of those few! She was amazed at how well my iron levels were. "Keep doing what you're doing!" she said.
This is the second time in my life that my doctors over the years have commented on the "quality" of my blood. The first one to comment asked me what my diet was like because he was so impressed. This OB doctor assumed my diet was great since she encouraged me to keep going with it. The truth is --- it's not so amazing. I think God just blessed me with some exceptional blood! :)
I did ask her about the pregnancy acne that is slowly taking over every square inch of my skin. She said that's just the way my body responds to hormonal changes and that it'd go away after the baby comes. I seriously hope so. I've been having dreams about being thin, tan, and acne-free. Can you tell what I'm stressing about? :)
