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...
At 37w2d I went in for my first non-stress test (NST). Of course, they couldn't do the testing in the office I usually visit, so I had to drive nearly an hour to their main office near the hospital for the appointment. On the way in, I dropped off my...
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...
Just crossed into the "6 weeks left" phase. Yes, my heart is beating a bit quicker thinking of all of those things I so desperately wanted to get done before the baby arrived...and how we're not making much progress. Like our master bath. My husband began...
Yes, I think I've reached that stage of pregnancy...in the third trimester when the need to clean, cook, and tend house takes over. I'm in a mild panic to get things done...like those things I've avoided doing or thought it "would be nice" to do for so...
I had another visit with my primary OB yesterday - everything still is going very well, baby is VERY active (can you step on my bladder and push up on my ribs all day long?), and the heart sounds great. The one question that did arise during my visit...
So I got my monthly call from BCBS's nurses to check in on my pregnancy. Up until this point I've thought that they've been polite and helpful, so I haven't minded answering their questions or returning their calls. Having worked in healthcare, I understand...
Yes, all but 2 of the knuckles on my hands are so dry they are cracked and bleeding. Nothing like making a bed to notice that the red smear isn't part of the pattern. Fun is. I've been using this great honey-based non-soap product to wash my hands hoping...
Yes, I officially received the "all clear" on the baby's heart at yesterday's appointment. What great news...and although it wasn't unexpected given the feedback we've been receiving, it was nice to finally have a definitive answer. There isn't any chance...
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...
