Nov. 28, 14 wks.
Since my blood pressure had been high at
the 2 previous appointments I was asked
to come back in at 14 weeks to check up
on it. Between the last visit and this one
I had purchased a bp monitor to see how
it was when I was at home and relaxed. Turns
out I just had a bad case of anxiety. Because
in addition to the bp monitor we are also
now renting a doppler, so I've been monitoring
the baby as well as myself. No more reason
to be anxious, means no more reason for
high blood pressure. Also turns out my doppler
is better than the one the doctor had. I
took it with me and we ended up using it
to find the heartbeat. Everything went fine.
Also got a flu shot. :( Next appointment
is Dec. 8th at 16 weeks. I'll be changing
clinics and doctors. I only went the current
one because I needed go before insurance
was all figured out. The place I'm switching
to I've been going to for years. They are
much better equipped, with ultrasound equipment
in the office. I have to decide in the next
2 weeks if I want to do prenatal screening
or not. It's a tough decision. Weight is
up 6 pounds all ready this pregnancy. ugh!
