Call from Mw this morning...
When we saw the Mw yesterday morning it wasnt our usualy one, but we thought everything had gone ok.
i just got a call from our usuall MW who said that she wanted to see me on friday to check another wee sample, as they had seen keytones in the last two which she didnt think was normal. She asked if i was eating, and I said i was although not as much as I probably should as the iron tablets had been making me queasy, but that i was managing three small meals a day...
she explained that the keytones meant that my body was converting fat etc to food for the baby rather than using the food that i was eating... ?
I have NO idea what she is on about!
But she wants me to go and do another sample fri afternoon so she can see if the time of day makes any differnce...
anyone else been told about these keytones/know about them, and can shed any light on them?
Baby is ok, so no worries there, but she said this could be why I feel so drained all the time even though I'm eating.... and the things I've googled link it back to Gestational Diabetes, but I've had the test for that and it came back completely normal.......
ah well, more peeing into a ridiculously small pot on friday

I was keeping nothing down so it was no big surprise to me, but I was put on a drip for 2 days and felt much better. They let me home when my ketone reading was plus 2 so that must be a betterreading than what I had!!

I have never been on a diet ever, love all my food way toooooo much
Put lots of weight on when i was preg with Ollie, and havent put any on this time- i lost about a stone and a half within the first three months and am now just about back up to the weight i was when i first got pregnant so technically have not put any weight on.... ( i have had to reduce my bread intake as it stops the absorption of iron...)
Ah well, guess I'll just have to keep going as I am - but does it mean I have an excuse for even more cake/ice cream/sweet/snacks....
