I had my doc. visit yest for my 36 week checkup. I had one last week as well, well last week it went great I have two midwifes and this one from last week told me tht my bby was doing all right, his hearbeat was excellent but my iron wasnt so good. and my weight as well, but she understands that, that is something I cant control, I cant help having a fast metabollism. Well I got a diff. midwife yest. and she also said that my iron was bad, but then she felt my baby & said that I had a real small baby in their & tht I was in my way to getting myself another u/s. I dnt get it! one tells me good things and the other one goes bizerk on me. She asked me if I was even trying to eat. Im like ??? YES! she got completely mad b/c I said that I hadnt eaten in 2 hours but that I had just had a chocolate cake. she was like oh yeah that sounds better than meat or mac&cheez huh? IDK, what do yall think?
Odd... but some midwives do have better personalities than others... just like any other person.
As for the cake... LOL Technically its not the best choice of foods, but who doesn't like a piece of it every now and then? Just because you had it doesn't mean your meal before it wasn't balanced and healthy. Personally I would have asked (not that Í'd be in the position too lol) what else you had eaten that day to make sure it wasn't the only thing. I could also see her giving you a chart to fill out like I had at my first appointment (my cousins midwife made her do one every month!!!) where you check off everything you eat for a week out of the month. If she's really worried that is. Unless she does something like that and can see there's a problem (if there was) then I don't think she has room to say anything like that.
Trying to find a replacement for my old caffeine habit?
