12 wk Appt

This morning I had my 12 wk appt with my midwife JoAnne. Everything went really well - I got the okay to start exercising again and to stop taking the progesterone cream. She gave me a note that will allow me to sign up for prenatal yoga class too.
I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time - it was at 150 bpm.
I asked her about the almost fainting episodes and she just said that it happens so some people and its typically either low blood pressure or low blood sugar. I keep snacks with me all the time to keep my blood sugar up and there's not much you can do about low blood pressure. So she just said if I feel that way to make sure I sit down & take it easy. She also told me that I need to start gaining weight -- Ryan wasn't really pleased with this development.
