Rod and I had our monthly appointment at Women's Ob/Gyn this morning. This time we met with one of the midwives, Suki. Alina had spoken so highly of her, and the other two midwives, that we thought we'd check her out. Eventually, we'll have to make the decision of whether we'd like an Obstetrician or a midwife to be with us in the delivery room.
So we took the opportunity to really try to get to know Suki, and hear her thoughts on docs vs. midwives. Seems like it all comes down to time... And we've got plenty of that before we have to decide.
We talked about the feelings I'd been having, and whether they were BH or just round ligament pains (like the nurse suggested when I called to ask about them last week). Suki agreed that they were most likely BH, although she said most women don't notice them or feel them until they're 28-30 weeks. I got a short lecture on staying hydrated - I'm to drink at least 10 glasses of water a day, and that should help.
Appointment Stats:
Kristin's Blood Pressure: 100/60
Baby's Heartrate: 144 (according to Suki, average range is 120-160)
Height of Fundus: 19cm.
Weight Gained since last appt: 4 lbs. - right on track!
And, as hard as we tried, Suki pretty much told us if we want another ultrasound, we'll probably have to pay for it - that's what I get for having a "perfect" pregnancy so far!
Next appt: Tuesday, Oct. 18th with Mary Jo (midwife)
