Since I started this blog a little late, and didn't know exactly what direction I wanted to take it, I haven't been updating with every doctor's appointment. I think I might start. I love looking back on the other two boys prenatal appointments and just their daily schedules and routines when they were younger. Type A much? Yes, I don't deny it.
My first appointment at 8 or 9 weeks went great. I got an early ultrasound, which was completely unexpected but I was so excited. We wanted to announce our third pregnancy on our Christmas cards, but I didn't feel like we could until we heard or saw a heartbeat. So you can bet that our Christmas were ordered that afternoon. Baby's heartbeat was 175 and I was feeling extremely nauseous.
My second appointment at 12 weeks was again just standard. We heard the heartbeat, and asked a few random questions. Oh I think it was at this point when the doctor told me that I had a hernia and diastasis. My hernia sticks out right at the belly button and my diastasis means that my stomach muscles have completely separated leaving a hole above my belly button. Hot, right? I will most likely need surgery a while after I give birth as long as Tom and I are done having babies. Trust me, we are done!
My third appointment was at 17 weeks and again, just standard.
Fourth appointment was at 20 weeks. We had the ultrasound this appointment too which was so much fun! I had been having some back problems, so I got some tips as to how to help my posture and how to relieve some of the pressure. Heart beat was about 147.
Fifth appointment was at 24 weeks. I passed my glucose tests with flying colors. Hooray! However, my iron levels were low. I'm a little nervous about that. But they will test again at 28 weeks and hopefully I'll have gotten them back up. Starting at 28 weeks (my next appointment) I will go in every 2 weeks. Then at 36 weeks, every week!
I can't believe in just a few short weeks I will be in the third trimester! I am getting so excited to meet this little man it's unbelievable!
