Prenatal visit went superbly today! And, oh what a relief. I tend to worry myself (if you know me, you're not surprised). I got it into my head that - certainly - my blood pressure was high, because I was getting exhausted more easily and feeling rushes to my heart, and the swelling in my feet has become pretty regular. Then, I got to thinking, "That's it, I'll go in and they'll tell me my BP is high and there's protein in my urine, and diagnose me preeclamptic". Alas, once again, worry over nothing...*Urine: good
*Blood pressure: within normal
*Pricked finger for one last hemoglobin test: no worries there
*Group B Strep: still out, fingers crossed (wouldn't be a big deal; just don't want to deal with it come delivery time)
*Fetal heart rate (normal is 120-160): 150-160
*Fetal growth: good
*Baby's head is down (hoorah!!...now stay that way, Jellybean)
Now we're scheduled to have a prenatal visit every week...and there's only 3 more visits scheduled before the "due date"! I feel confident everything will continue to go well.
Me, too ;o) You are a good mama already for caring so much about your pregnancy. Too many women just go through the motions; but you are just wonderful, lady. You take care of yourself and are mindful of your baby.
ReplyDeletePreeclampsia sucks. I wound up having a C-section over that.
