Doctors Appointment

Well, everything went extremely well.
The baby is in a "head down" position. The doctor said she hopes he/she stays that way now, as time gets closer and closer to due date. The thought of the baby with its head down, waiting for delivery makes me excited, but at the same time freaks me out! LOL.... The actual "delivery" part, of course, being the part that freaks me out.

I got my paperwork for my bloodwork and gestational diabetes test.. I go for that this week. I really hope I pass. I have gained 18 pounds!!!! I have 13-14 weeks left, and she said I will gai about a pound a week - that will leave me gaining 31-32lbs during the entire pregnancy. I thought initially she said she only wanted me to gain 20-25 lbs, but she said today "no - 25-35 - so that's perfect". So whatever! LOL... As long as I stay under 40 I am happy. And who am I kidding - it's totally worth it if it goes over 40! I just want a healthy baby! Weight is weight. The important part to me is that the doctor said I am right where she would like me to be, as I didn't have that much extra weight to begin with (Yeah, lady, I beg to differ! haha).

She told me I have to go on some sort of medication starting week 35ish. Because I am prone to some type of bladder infection or something, and they want to avoid a c-section if at all possible. So I will have to find out more about that.

She went over the ultrasound. She says baby is looking perfectly normal, no abnormalities at all, the umbilical cord looks perfect and everything seems fine! She did tell me that I shouldn't be sleeping on my back - but I sleep on my side anyway, so that isn't a problem, and that the pain I am getting in my right rib cage is completely normal! LOL... So that's good I guess..

Anyway, that's all! I now see the doctor every two weeks.
