At my last appointment, the doctor asked whether I had seen all of the doctors in the practice. Having some great short term memory loss lately, I had no idea who I had or hadn’t seen. 🙂 The doctor quickly reviewed my file and informed me that there was only 1 I hadn’t seen. She made a note on my chart that I needed an appointment in two weeks and that it had to be with this doctor. When I scheduled the next appointment, there appeared to be a scheduling issue and I was told they “squeezed me in” for Tuesday April 22nd.
Sooooo, I get in today and get seen by this new-to-me doctor. The doctor seemed really rushed and didn’t spend a ton of time on small talk. Came in, asked if I had questions, answered my 1 question while finding the heartbeat, told me to pre-register for the hospital, come back in two weeks and was out the door. Unfortunately, because this was someone I hadn’t seen before, I didn’t have an overwhemingly warm fuzzy feeling but hey….what are the chances that this doctor delivers this baby? 🙂 Although, because I just “said” it, its a darn near guarantee, you know?
Anyway…
The baby’s heartbeat was 142. My weight, urine and blood pressure were all good.
By the way, my question was “when do the weekly appointments start?”…I start them at 36 weeks and they’ll begin doing internal exams at that point. She said they’ll make sure the baby is head-down at that point because she noticed that it was breech a few weeks ago.
So, that’s that! I go back in 2 weeks. 🙂
