Most recent OB visit
posted on 11/05/2008

We went back to the OB yesterday. Kevin is on vacation so he was able to come. We saw Dr. D'Amore and I thought for sure she was going to be all over me about my weight so I was dreading the visit.

She actually said that all my numbers were good Laughing! Even my blood pressure which I thought was a bit high (138/80). Apparently its ok for your blood to be slightly elevated and without other symptoms (headaches, blurred vision, severe swelling, etc) she was not concerned about pre-eclampsia. My urine was normal and I've gained 3 lbs since my last visit 2 weeks ago. Dr. D'Amore also measured my belly and felt the babies position (its head down!!) and we got to listen to the heartbeat which Kevin hasn't heard since early September! Doc seemed happy with the way things were going but told me to watch my salt intake just in case...

I go back in 2 weeks for another appointment and at that visit they are going to check me for Group B Strep which can be dangerous to the baby during delivery. I guess it is a culture of the woo woo so I'll actually need to shave my legs for that visit, lol...

33 weeks today and we have successfully completed 8 months!! Supposedly we have 7 weeks to go but a baby is considered full term at 36 weeks soooo it could be sooner!!!
