I had my first appointment at my OB practice today, and it went great. I actually saw the doctor who delivered Owen, and she remembered me and O, and asked how everything was, and it was nice to chat with her. She did a dating ultrasound and the baby measured ahead at 8 weeks, so they said they would use my LMP as a due date. So, August 16th it is!
It was so unreal to see this little thing with arm and leg buds moving around, and hear that heartbeat. I think that must be one of the greatest sounds in the world. After my ultrasound I had to go over history with a nurse and get about 6 vials of blood drawn. Then we went over insurance and what I have to pay out of pocket, and then I came back to work. I go back in 2 weeks for a physical and another ultrasound, and then again 2 weeks later for the NT scan.
I am kind of bummed I didn't get to talk more to the doctor because I have some questions, but I guess I can ask them next time. The nurse did say that they would monitor me closely for high blood pressure again, and also keep an eye on size because of the vacuum assist with Owen.
All in all, great appointment!
