Dr. Appointment highlights

This was my first time meeting with one of the OB’s in the practice.

Usually before each appointment I get a reminder phone call and this time I didn’t which I thought was odd but figured it was because of the holiday. When I got there I was not in the system, but the nurse that booked the appointment was up front and overheard what was happening. I think they were going to try and squeeze me in, but it helped that she pulled my chart with her notes and the appointment info. I didn’t see the dr I was originally scheduled to see but the dr that is new to the practice, and I think new to being a dr in general.

He was nice, but nervous, and was having a very hard time getting the measurements. He said the baby was turning and twisting and he couldn’t get a good shot of what he needed. He actually had to redo the ultrasound after he did my exam, which was fine by me because it meant we got to see the baby again, and we got a much better picture the second time. He said the baby is measuring 12 weeks and 2 days almost 2 weeks ahead. I think the baby is just big, or it was his difficulty in measuring because that would mean we conceived a couple of days into my last period, which isn't possible. I know my last period was a period, and I did all the charting stuff so I am pretty sure of when I ovulated. They didn’t say they gave me a new due date, but that measurement would move my due date from March 28 to March 16.

He also had to do my pap twice, he said something about the position of my cervix, but I think it was just him, and that is not something I wanted done twice.

He said my blood work all came back noraml, I don't have aids - yay, but I am RH-. We are going to find out Pablo's blood type but even if he is positive it's not that big of a deal, just one extra shot for me.

All and all it was a good visit. I got all of my appointments scheduled from now until I am 38? weeks.

I scanned the pic's but I think the quality is worse than what is posted below, if I have time I'll play with the scanner setting and see what I can do.
