17 Weeks Dr Appt
Pretty normal dr. appt. She listened for the baby with the handheld doppler. It was hard for her to find a loud place for her to listen for it, but she found it (really low by my hip. She said it was 150/bpm and also that the baby was moving around a lot. SO everything was healthy for me and the baby. I also got a px for nausea. And a alpha beta protein test or whatever its called (the kind that checks for birth defects.) More on that later.
So all in all according to my dr everything’s fine. I like my dr a lot by the way. I’ve never talked about her. She’s super laid back and calm and at first it kind of bothered me, but now I find it really relaxing. She’s just super reassuring when she explains things: like how I probably won’t feel the baby move until 20-24 weeks, and when it hurts when I sneeze that’ my rotator cuffs attaching my uterus to my body etc.
I scheduled my ultrasound for Sept 19 and my next appt is the week after that.
