Had 11 week appt last week
heard the heartbeat with the doppler so yay. though we'd already seen it on u/s its always nice for reassurance.
I'm foregoing the NT test and the quad testing. they didn't do the NT with my other two and nothing will change and there is no chance I"d do an amnio, so we came to the decision to not bother.
blood pressure is FANTASTIC 112/60 if you can believe it. used to be about a year ago, always over 148 and I think the bottom was always like 80 or 90something. so that is just huge. I've lost 3 more lbs for a total of 10 I think.
tthey want me to find a medium in my calories where I don't lose any more. if I go around 1200 I still lose a bit so I'm trying 1300-1350 for a few days and see what happens.

I had my 14 week appt on thursday and got to hear the HB on doppler for the first time too! It was great. Heart rate was 157. We had gotten to hear/see it on u/s too but first time they counted what it was.
Sounds like you had a good appt. Good luck with the uping your calories a bit to not continue losing. I also understand the amazment about the blod pressure. Pre WLS I took med to keep my blod pressure in check. WIth meds it was about 135/upper 80's. Thursday it was 101/60! Keep us posted!
hugs,
Kim
