Got a little of a scare last week. Doctors said that Ivy could possibly have pregnancy induced hypertension or pre-eclampsia. If left alone, it could cause a lot of problems. But if carefully followed and treated it shouldn't be an issue. It's a situation where the blood vessels are constricted causing high blood pressure and possibly decreased blood flow to the fetus. So she is taking baby aspirin to thin her blood and protein powder to increase her protein intake so more get's into the fetus.
Otherwise, the baby looks pretty good. Ivy's actually able to feel it moving now. Ivy says she's pretty active and actually felt her hiccuping one morning. I've got some 3D pictures from the u/s but too lazy to scan them. I'll put it up soon.
