We waited and waited. My appt was at 5pm and I was the last one there so I think my doc was tired and ready to go. He was very nice though.
My bp was awesome at 128/76. I had high blood pressure before Johnny so it is great to see it normal. The baby turned a bit but the nurse was able to get a good heartbeat of 180! I can’t believe how fast it is compared to Johnny’s. I am still betting on girl. I got the paperwork for my u/s that I can schedule in 3 weeks. I am going to call tomorrow and make the appt.
He is going to refer me to a general surgeon if my hernia keeps bothering me. Right now, it is just uncomfortable more than anything so I am willing and wanting to wait a bit. They won’t do anything while I am pregnant anyways.
He isn’t overly concerned about the contractions but wants me to keep an eye on them. I had preterm labor with Johnny starting around 20 weeks so I think I was more concerned that this was something bad. He told me, in front of Mike, that I need to sit down and relax if they start. I am supposed to call or go in to the hospital if I get more than 4 an hour for more than an hour. So far, they have not been regular so no big worries.
Oh, yeah. Mike did come and heard little baby. He didn’t have much to say about anything the doctor said but I am glad he heard the part about me having to relax, regardless. I doubt it will make much difference in the end, but I know he heard it.
I go back at the end of July and they will have the malformation screen back by then. Everything seems to be going okay for now.
