We have also all been hit with rotten colds this week which I am taking forever to recover from, like I needed any more trouble breathing. It has also been revealed to me this week through my mum's personal trainer the reason why I have been extremely tired and am struggling to gain weight is due to my elevated heart rate. At the moment my resting heart rate is between 100-120 bpm so it is comparable to me doing constant mild exercise. I had been aiming to gain at least 15 kilos by this stage in my pregnancy but so far have only managed 6.
This week I also had my glucose tolerance test which I should get the results back from in the next week or so. At my obstetrician appointment this week I am now measuring 39 weeks, but i can feel my stomach beginning to grow width ways now too. We had a lovely little peek in on the babies and all seem to be going well. We saw Baby B opening and closing her little mouth and her tongue sticking out. It appears baby A has now had a growth spurt and both A and C are now sitting around the 70th percentile. So hopefully at this coming Friday's growth scan we will see that B has caught up to her brothers. My thyroid has come back fine, and my iron levels are now borderline so am now up to 2 iron tablets a day.
I have also been told as soon as I feel the need to be admitted to hospital for some rest, all I need to do is ring and need to do is ring and ask.
Yesterday afternoon my lovely sister in law arranged a bit of a pre triplets high tea gathering so we could all celebrate this amazing gift together. It was so lovely to spend the afternoon with so many good friends and family members.
On a final note it has been a while so here is my bump at 25 weeks...
