I've cut down to one cup of coffee a day, rarely two.

Drank coffee with both of my other kids and they turned out okay

Had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday.....so cool to see the baby again! Will try and scan the pic later.

half way there now.......

(factoid to add: I'm living proof that the idea behind forbidding coffee to a pregnant woman--that it would stunt the baby's growth--is, and always was, a myth)

Hehe, im living proof of that too, as well as many other things that my momma did that she shouldnt have: she smoked at least a pack a day, had alcohol (but to my understanding was only once during new years and only a glass or two, if shes telling me the truth) and she flew across the country during her 8th month.

cosidering all of that, im pretty normal!

i used to drink a lot of coffee....like a liter a day....and now, being pregnant, i switched it to decaf.....i only put one scoop a week of normal coffee in that decaf ....and a drink a small cup a day....better safe than sorry, no matter what the doctors say....they proved me that they dont know everything like you expect them so im doing what i think its best for me and my baby...not what they think its best....

went today and had my 1 hour glucose test and an appointment. Everything looks great, and I'll know in a couple days the result of the glucose testing. I go back in 2 weeks and then in 4 weeks I have another ultrasound to see how the baby's doing

Is it odd that my doctor only wants to do one ultrasound?? and she doesnt want to do it for another 6-8 weeks (by then i'll be 30 weeks)??

So far everything aok! she said my blood tests were all very boring (which is good!) and that she wants to see me about every two weeks since ive only recently started getting prenatal care.

I think maybe because you weren't going to the doc during the other 2 "routine" times to get an ultrasound may be why you are only going to get one. I got one at 9 weeks and 20 weeks, and if I remember correctly you are past the 20 week point aren't you? 30-32 weeks is when they normally do the "final" one to check on progress.

I'm on the every 2 week plan too. That's because I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow and in my third trimester tho
