Week 31 Check-up

Went for my 31 week check up today.  Baby is doing fine - gained about 300g.  Actually, he is on the small side (less than 50th percentile).  We were a bit concerned about the baby's small size, but Dr says that baby will most probably gain quite a bit of weight rather quickly from this point forward, and that it is better for baby to be on the smaller (rather than bigger) side as better chance of natural birth. 

My blood glucose is good, but my iron levels are a bit on the low side, so he gave me a stronger iron pill to take.  Must eat more green vegetables and red meat.

Fortunately, my previously immense weight gain has gone back down to normal levels, despite the fact that I'm still eating quite a bit. 

Next checkup in 3 weeks.
