First Michigan OB appointment

I had finally procrastinated enough and finally called a doctor to see if/when I could get in—we have just been so busy unpacking and whatnot that calling for a doc always got pushed to the bottom of the list. Yeah, priorities, I know. 😳

Anyway, I had called Monday and they were actually able to get me in on a cancellation for today! YAY!

While out on errands yesterday, I stopped by to drop off my records, in the hopes the doc would actually take a quick look at them before my appointment.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. The best-laid plans, right?

Anyway, the staff was nice and I liked the doctor. Turns out she did some of her training in North Carolina. The appointment was very short as basically they weighed me (I think I gained maybe 2-3# since my appointment a month ago), took my blood pressure (they said it was great—YAY!), and then checked the baby’s heartbeat (150).

I did ask about a recent yeast infection (which I got thanks to the bacterial infection meds I had been taking—and the doc hadn’t automatically prescribed the yeast infection meds like I was used to)…wondering if it was something that would have gone away on its own or if I might still need meds (I could have googled, but didn’t). She assured me if the symptoms were gone, I was okay. Cool. (Unfortunately, I am still having discharge issues—although they are no longer bacterial, the doc assured me they are simply pregnancy/hormone related and there’s NOTHING you can do about it. Fun.)

I have to go back in two weeks for a sugar test (well, technically a glucose screening and glucose tolerance test) to test for gestational diabetes. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
