So we went to the OB today for a prenatal checkup, at 15 weeks 3 days.

I was very relieved to know, though, that I've only gained a pound in the last month, for a total of 5 pounds so far in 15 weeks. I feel so big right now that I was really worried that I had been overeating, considering I've had to cut back on exercise due to a fluid sac that is attached to the placenta. But that's one less thing to worry about.

My doctor also said that I can eat brie as long as it's pasteurized (and it wouldn't hurt to heat it first), and drink white or green tea in moderation (I've been resorting to drinking hot water because I was afraid to drink tea). She also reassured me that I can sleep on my back - I read (god, the internet is your enemy when it comes to medical stuff!) that I should only sleep on my left side, but that's really uncomfortable for me and I've slept worth crap for the past 3 weeks. So what a relief! We got to hear the heartbeat again, which is wonderful! I'll have another ultrasound in 3 more weeks (at 18 weeks) and hopefully they'll be able to determine the gender!
