Basically all my appointments involve now are a urine, blood pressure, and weight check; a pelvic bone to uterus measurement; and a listen for the baby’s heartbeat. All said and done, about five minutes.
So…
Urine? Fine.
Blood pressure? Fine.
Weight? I gained 7# since my last appointment, but only 4# since the previous appointment (a month ago—remember, I lost weight at the last visit). I told her my weight has ALWAYS varied like that, and she said she wasn’t worried.
Measurement? Fine. But she said I was measuring a little big. 88| But she didn’t seem worried at all…
Heartbeat? Fine (150bpm).
I asked if I was going to be getting another ultrasound (as family members wanted to know how big he was!) and she said yes. Unfortunately, I have to schedule an appointment at the hospital and do it there. I was hoping to be able to do it right in the office, but I guess I was just spoiled by my specialist in Jacksonville—if I hadn’t gone to him, my appointments (and ultrasounds) would have been at a hospital, too.
Lastly, I got a prescription for more prenatal vitamins.
