It has been an interesting day in 2nd pregnancy land. I was getting my lunch together this morning and all of a sudden, I felt really lightheaded and hot. I sat down before I fell down. Great. Scott was getting ready for work, so I had to send Lucas running to our room while I was yelling for him to let him know what was going on. Lucas thought it was fun that I was letting him run around the house!
This fun passing out thing happened a few times when I was pregnant with Lucas, and my poor sister got the brunt of my ACTUALLY passing out in the middle of Motherhood Maternity. So, today I called my OB nurse and she told me that my iron and potassium levels are low and that I need an additional 325mg of iron a day. Awesome. She also said that if I am still feeling this lightheaded that she may need to move my 28 Week Glucose Test up to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. Even better. Little sister (as Lucas has dubbed her) doesn't seem to mind that I feel lousy. She is still her little jumping bean self!
I go for my regular check up on the 18th, and I'm sure they'll let me know what to do next.
