Our first official prenatal appointment was January 17th. They basically did the normal routine as go over things that I should stay away from while pregnant and asked Todd and I about our family history. I of course needed to get a pap smear done...they are oh so pleasant! The nurse checked my blood pressure which was 108/70 which was great and made me take a urine specimen to check for sugar and that came out fine too. So I am healthy and I am supposed to gain between 25-35 pounds...lord I hope I don't gain that much. I'm still going to exercise all throughout this pregnancy as well. I haven't gained anything thus far which is awesome...and scary since I eat all the time.
Dr. Nic, who is my ob/gyn is so nice! He is such a gentleman and is really sweet, he makes going there a lot easier because he has a wonderful personality. After my appointment was finished I was told to go to LabCorp as soon as possible for all of my bloodwork that needs to be done and I also scheduled an appointment for February 9th, for the Ultra Screen Testing or (nuchal) which is a blood test and an ultrasound to check the baby to make sure that he/she doesn't have chromosomal abnormalities, spina bifida and other health conditions. So I am a little nervouse but I know everything will go well. Our babies are strong and they make it through anything!
First ultrasound scheduled for 1/26!! (UPDATE) Everything looks fantastic with the baby..very strong heartbeat and it looks as if the baby implanted properly which is wonderful since last time we had a few scares in the beginning. The baby is measuring 5 days ahead which would give me an estimated due date of August 19th...MY BIRTHDAY!! We are so very excited.
