Routine. That is the perfect word that described my visit Wednesday. Blood pressure checked and good (which I am happy about because I get pregnancy induced hypertension with all my pregnancies so far). Weight checked; actually lost a pound! I could stand to lose a few more, but as long as there is no gain yet, I'm happy. The appointment marked 14 weeks. WOW! I again was surprised to hear that. My brain cannot keep up with the timeline.
Okay, so doctor waltzes in and does his normal greetings. Asked if I have any concerns; nope. Then he said, "You probably could tell me what to do." HA! That made me laugh. Pretty much. I've done this enough I really know what to expect. With that said, we listened for the heartbeat. What a wonderful sound. Now that NEVER gets old.
Up next on the agenda is a quad screening blood test. I know lots of moms deny these tests, but I am a planner. I like to know everything going on. I know there is the whole risk of negative results, but being a planner, if something is wrong, I need to know. So this is to be done between 16-18 weeks and so the next appointment is on the 28th which puts me right at 17 weeks.
