So far we have had two pretty good OB appointments! One with the regular Ob at Portsmouth and the second one I just had on the 5th with maternal fetal medicine at Portsmouth. Both time we have been able to see the little bugger in there but I only have one picture to share :[ I didn't get any the second time since they just wanted to check to see if everything was ok because of all the cramping I was having due to my sickness.
Well here is the break down of each if I remember them correctly.
The first appointment they did a pelvic exam and ultrasound. At the ultrasound the baby was measuring about 4 days behind but had a heart beat! It looked like a little peanut. She didn't measure the heart rate but I did get two pictures. I found out I had another asymptomatic uti and was stuck on macrobid for that for 10 days. My blood pressure actually came down at this appointment! It was actually pretty dang normal! Well she sent me to maternal fetal medicine for an evaluation so I made my appointment with them on the 5th. They also want me to go see a nutritionist since I am underweight. That is going to be loads of fun....not.
Now onto the second appointment. I just was in the ER for a good 7 hours two days prior because I couldn't breath very well and I had a fever. I felt like total crap! They did an ultrasound, didn't measure the baby, but pointed out the heartbeat and said it was in the 170s. I am not very reassured by this doctor. He didn't seem to know very much about things he should. He actually asked me what a missed miscarriage was! I was like wow.....so I am going to see him on June 7th and then go to standard and go where I want because that just made me feel extremely uncomfortable. My dream is to give birth in the midwife center at Bon Secours Depaul Hospital. An un-medicated birth! He is sticking me on baby aspirin but I feel very nervous to actually start taking it. He also checked my thyroid and then he went and had me do a 24 protein test which hasn't been fun so far obviously. Ok well that is my update! I hope soon I will be able to post the baby's heartbeat if I ever find it on the home doppler I have :D
