Delivery (
RSS)
I've made it to the final finish line in the birthing process - six weeks post delivery. For the first 2 weeks home, I had the no heavy lifting, no driving, and no more than once up and down the stairs a day rules. Add the no bath, swimming, or exercise...
Everything went as scheduled. No surprises here, as my husband and I are two very planned individuals. I went in to the hospital around 7am on Wednesday morning, by 9am I was walking my way into the OR and getting up onto the table for my spinal. By 915am...
I had my pre-op appointment this morning. It was nice that they had set my expectations appropriately...that we were literally being squeezed into a completely full schedule. My appointment was for 11:15am, and it was nearly 45 minutes of sitting in the...
Had my third NST this morning...and they aren't getting any quicker, that's for sure. I had a 10am appointment and was there right on time...and of course, after an hour on the road had to use the bathroom. They brought me right back, let me leave my...
I had my second NST this morning. Again, not an in-and-out procedure. I waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room...during which time I totally forgot they gave me paperwork I was supposed to give to the nurse who called me in. Duh. Mommy brain. Left...
Since there's been really not much action with the baby (other than constant motion), we decided to take advantage of the extra time as a family of three and take my 27 month old to his first movie! SO exciting for us, and I think he had a good time....
Today I had my next appointment with my primary OB - just a little over 2 weeks left, so they did the Group B Strep culture, listened to the baby's heart, checked my cervix (nothing to report), and then we talked a little about the non-stress test. The...
They're back! Last night for the first time in a few weeks I had one of those intense dreams...where I was being pursued. All I remember is running away and hiding in a closet somewhere hoping that my breathing wouldn't give me away...that and the unbearable...
Well, although I've immensely enjoyed my experience with my high risk practice and the three OBs in the practice, it feels FANTASTIC to have made my last appointment and have a clean bill of health for myself and, most importantly, the baby. Today's appointment...
I had my monthly appointment (a week late...as I spaced and forgot last Monday that I had an appointment) yesterday. Loved only being up 3.5 lbs in five weeks. Holding better course than with my first pregnancy. Although, I had that wonderful stomach...
We're slowly closing in on the 26th week mark. Just a few more appointments with the high risk group before we get the final nod that the little guy's heart is just fine. I had my next high risk appointment on Wednesday. Although I love the practice,...
I've finally reached that stage of pregnancy when I can feel the fluttering. What a great feeling!! I began noticing it on Monday night, and the last two nights it has been pretty constant once I've sat down after dinner. As I sit here and type I can...
