Stomach upset and Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday, I must have eaten something that made me sick. Mike and I ate dinner before we headed off to work and I was fine until about 9:15 (the class goes till 9:50). Around then, I started getting gas pains and my stomach was getting upset. At 9:30, I had to tell the class we had to take a break but that I would be back shortly. After 10 unpleasant minutes in the bathroom, I came back and told them that the rest of class was cancelled and I'd email them with the administrative information I'd wanted to tell them. Note to self: need to email class.

I headed back to the bathroom for a bit more quality time. Finally, I felt confident enough to creep to my car and drive home, but I felt really questionable the whole time. Questionable enough that I pulled out a plastic bag in case I puked. I didn't, at least not till I got home. 

After some more enjoyable bathroom time, I laid on the couch and watched 2 episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. My stomach was cramping and I just felt crappy. Finally, I headed into bed, but didn't sleep well at all. I kept waking up, although I don't think it was due to my stomach being upset. A yucky evening overall. 

I had an appointment with my doctor this morning, so I asked her about the whole thing and potential baby impacts. She didn't seem concerned, although the internet seemed to think it was a major problem when I googled it last night. I guess because it's cleared up today, it's not a big issue. 

We chatted for an hour about how things were going. Sadly, she's moving locations. We're still going to see her, but it won't be as conveniently located. We'll still have access to the birthing room at this place, if that's what we decide to do, but all of the prenatal appointments after Jan 1 will be at her new office. She says she got tired of the homeless people camping out in the front doorway (and in the locked yard in the back) and that the building is falling down and the landlord doesn't care. I'd probably move my office, too.

We listened to baby's heartbeat (normal), she measured me (normal), and I got weighed (normal increase). We're hoping for completely average as far as the pregnancy and delivery go, so we're off to a good start so far.
