The appointment went fine. I LOVE the nurse we had, who was 10x better than the nurse that did the early pregnancy stuff at my last OB's office.
The midwife was ok. She was very direct and succint, which was fine, but she messed something small up about the clotting disorders. She asked my why I was on baby aspirin if my homocysteine levels were not elevated, completely overlooking the way more deleterious prothrombin mutation. Mr. Rhody says I hold on to these things too much, so I'm going to let that go, knowing that she's not trained so much in crazy clotting mutations as she is for giving birth.
I now have ultrasounds scheduled for the next 3 Wednesdays, and I'll be seeing this midwife again 4 weeks from today! If I make it to that appointment, I'll get a Doppler or an abdominal ultrasound, and, if that goes well, I will be feeling much better about this.
In other news, the guys came to start installing our fence today in our yard. I am so excited not to have to walk the dogs this winter! Especially since I'm going to be totally huge and pregnant this winter, it would be dangerous for me to risk slipping and falling on the ice!
That's fantastic that you are going to be watched that closely!
