Expert: Lilly Safley - 3/13/2005

Question
im six and a half months pregnant with my third child i have only gained a total of 7 pounds and i gained it all in the last four weeks. im worried obout either not gaining enough weight or gaining to much to fast. ive been sick with asinus infection for a month i feel weak even just takeing a shower ive been sick before and pregnant but ive never been this weak. what should i do? is it related to me being sick pregnant or is it related to my weight gain? please help my doctor is not very helpful im not sure if i should say any thing to him?

Answer
HI Lori,
those symptoms could be a combination of the sinus infection and the pregnancy, how are your blood counts are you showing anemia? go tell your ob what you are feeling, if you can't get him to respond see another physican. It is always good to be sure nothing else is going on especially since you are pregnant.
