14 MINUTES LEFT TO EDIT
I am at my breaking point. I have now lost MORE than 15 pounds. I'm 7 months pregnant. Because of my gallbladder problem there is a VERY limited group of food that I can eat. (plain noodles, Plain chicken breast, slatines, small amts of yogurt, cereal) There are SO many foods I cant eat.. The rules are Low fat, low fiber, low acid, and low dairy. It's very hard to keep my wieght stable. I found out on Thursday that my blood count is down to 7. It should be at least 12. SO to help with my animia they gave me liquid iorn. Yeah no one can make that sound good. Right now I'm taking it once at night. Next week I have to up it to twice a day. Things have gotten pretty serious for me. I have trouble getting up and walking just a little ways. I can't go shopping or do any housework. Of course I can't do my job either. Also I cannot see my midwives anymore. The hospital has deemed me "high risk". My new OB is nice. Unfortunately she seems to think that I have to compleately forget about having my dream natural water birth. She's planning to have me induced in 8 weeks. She said there's no way that you're going to go to 41 and a half weeks like with your lest baby. HOW will I go through ANY labor (induced or not) If I am so weakend. At this point the baby has become a kind of parisite for me. I wanted this baby so badly and now I just feel like I'm going to incubate this child for 8 weeks while it sucks the life out of me.

Oh it's no big deal. Just a follow up surgery to a surgery I had a few years back. It was scheduled a month in advance so everything was planned out. My mom took care of me for the weekend and this week I've just been loafing around the apartment and crashing my downstairs neighbors' apartment.
