Good signs

Everything went well at the doctors office today.  I saw my high risk specialist first, and my cervix measured 12mm.  They looked at the baby, and checked my amniotic fluid and everything looks really good.  And instead of going back next week, they said I don’t have to come back for 2 weeks.  So I’ll see the high risk specialist on 3/11.  I left there and went to my regular ob, and they hooked me up to the fetal monitor to check the baby’s heartbeat, and to see if I had been having any contractions.  Everything there looked really good too.  The baby’s average heartbeat was about 155bpm.  It went down to 125 and up as high as 188, but they said that was normal, it was doing that when he’d move around.  They said that was actually a really good sign, and they don’t usually see that at this point in pregnancy, normally those fluctuations happen a little later, but it’s still a good sign.  Last week my belly measured 31cm, and this week it measured 34cm, so I’m growing just as I should, even though I still haven’t gained any weight this pregnancy.  I was supposed to have a glucose screening today, but I didn’t know I was supposed to fast, and when they found out I had a peppermint, they had to reschedule it.  So I’ll have my glucose test (to check for gestational diabetes) next Tuesday, and I’ll also get another injection of Rhogam (since I’m RH Negative). I’ll be seeing my regular ob doctor next Tuesday, and will update the website after that visit.
