Should I be concerned?
This is technically my second pregnancy. My first unfortunately ended with a miscarriage last year. However I am expected to be around 9 weeks, and have my first appointment scheduled for next week.
I have been keeping track of my weight for a while before I found out I was pregnant and have determined my pre-pregnancy weight around 183lbs and I’m 5’1”. I have had horrible morning sickness and can barely keep anything down even crackers and water, and have lost about 10lbs as of today I am 173lbs. I definitely plan on bringing up the weight loss again during my appointment.
I randomly get dizzy when I stand and I am constantly freezing even with the heater blasting and a bundle of clothes on, so I wouldn’t doubt if I might need iron supplements. I have talked to a few nurses regarding my issue, but I have only been told to take vitamin B-6 with my prenatal, drink a lot of water and eat bland foods like crackers. Is there anything else I can do to try to make my day to day a little less aggravating! Idk if I’m just crazy but I constantly feel grumpy and sad that I can’t enjoy food like I used to!
