We had a prenatal appointment at the local hospital this morning. I actually met a doctor I have never met before. A tiny little thing, and when she was measuring my tummy she said that she had twins last year. I popped my head off the pillow and said "Really!? where did you put them?" :P She was really nice though, she asked about work, and addressed any concerns I had. She even asked when my next appointment with the specialist is.
It is official, I have gained an entire pound over my pre-pregnancy weight! So now I think I can guess which way the scales are going to go from here! My abdomen is measuring right on track and my blood pressure was sitting at 126/74 which is a bit high for me,(I usually average around 110-115/60-65), but nothing to be concerned about. Baby was moving around today and the doctor had to work a little to get her heart beat. It wasn't long, but those few seconds always feel like an eternity. She got the heart beat for a few seconds, then had to adjust the doppler to get it again because, as she said "someone is moving around in there!" When she got a reading she said it sounded good and was around 140bpm.
I guess that is it. We go to see the specialist again on Nov 10th for our 18-20 week full biophysical scan. This little girl already has her own calendar! Otherwise I'd never know which doctor to go to and on what date.

You must have had Dr Atmuri... I had her once for one of the other pregnancies that I m/ced. I didn't like her then but she hadn't had to go through what we had :D Glad everything went well .. my blood pressure was up compared to normal too but not in a danger range around the same as you ha ha Can you believe how busy these babies make us on the inside!!
ReplyDeleteYeah - always love to hear about a good prenatal visit! I know for myself there's a small stretch of eternity between entering an exam room and when I get to hear the heart beat and/or seeing the baby.
