34 week OB visit

 Stats:

Progress: 34 weeks, 5 days. Yep, pretty consistent with these late week visits. Next time will actually be closer to my actual 36 week mark.


Weight: +37...uh holy hell!! Yep, that's legit right there. Water weight for sure. =( My foot swelling is no bueno. So much for trying to keep it under 40 pounds. =( Doubt I can keep it down that low in the next 5+ weeks.


Urine: The MA said it "looked good", but we shall see once I receive the results online. I am hoping this means no protein this time.


Blood Pressure: 122/70, thankfully back to a lower range. I was starting to get a little worried because I DID have protein in my dip last visit. And then with the increased swelling...ect. Ya know..


Baby's HR: Around 153-155bpm


Fundal Height: I forgot to ask & she didn't mention, but I'm sure it's all good.


Next Appt: Is in 1.5 weeks on Monday, September 16 @ 3:45PM. We will do my GBS swab at this visit & my first internal check if I wish. I probably will forgo the internal because there is no point.

My visit was a bit different this time around since I don't usually see my OB at this location. I was also working today which meant I had to leave work, drive to the other clinic location, see my OB & then come back to work. Unfortunately, since she was double booked in my time slot the whole ordeal took OVER an hour. Blargh! I was making such good time with traffic too, oh well.

I told my OB about my new symptoms, ie increased swelling, nausea, occasional headache, but thankfully since my urine was clear & my B/P is down it's not a major indicator for pre-E at this time. I'd like to make it through this pregnancy without complications just like with C so it's a relief that all was well at this visit. I'd like to have continued smooth sailing if we can.
