So how did my appointment go? 33 weeks 2 days...

Well, it started with a bit of protein in my urine, and a bit of a raised blood pressure. He asked if I had a busy day, and responded with Dr. D all of my days are busy! He totally understands. He gets it!

And, a weight gain/swelling of 9 pounds in the past 4 weeks. That brings my total to 3o pounds even. Still on the low side for me, considering I have under 7 weeks to go. I have a lot of swelling in my feet/ankles and legs. Baby had a heart rate of 148 bpm, and is growing nicely. Baby has head down.

My doctor told me I have to SLOOOOOOWWWWW down, and do less. He is not worried YET about my exam today. And, I go back in 2 weeks for my regular prenatal appointment. I cannot believe I am on the two week circuit, and then after that I have all my weekly appointments booked from here to delivery! At that appointment I get an internal check, and a group B swab. Yup. I get to get naked lol. Well, from the waist down anyways. He said he will be doing weekly checks to make sure that I labour/deliver in the hospital, and not at home because of my history of fast deliveries! Yikes.

I asked about my walking, and he said keep it up. He just said I don't want you to end up on bed rest, but obviously he is not THAT worried because he would have had me in earlier I would think. So, for the next two weeks I will try my best to be a bit more 'rested' and do less. Ha Ha. And, he totally gets that I have five kids at home that need me at all times. So, that is that.

Play it by ear, and drink lots of water and keep rested as much as I can. Doc's orders.
