Soooo my adorable OB went on Maternity Leave around my 25th or 26th week of pregnancy and that is normally the time at my practice that we go on rotations to meet all the Dr.'s anyway so it worked out pretty nicely. Unfortunately my 36 week appointment landed on the one last Dr. I hadn't met yet. So I was a little nervous because it was supposed to be my first exam and I have heard mixed thoughts on how women have felt during and after these exams, some say it's awful, some say it's just uncomfortable, some say it was a breeze so I was a little nervous to not be with my normal adorable little OB who makes for comforting me in nervous situations.
Let me just say I loved this last Dr. I had because he gave me the option to wait for my exam until I was with my normal Dr. again... so nice of him! Eased my nerves to say the least. So I had the Group B Strep test done, found the heart beat (not very easily I might add, she rolls away from the doppler) measured my belly, my blood pressure (which was high because of nerves) and then the dreaded scale.... oh that scale really got me this time. I had been so proud of myself this whole pregnancy and then I had a bad 2 weeks because I haven't gained that much in 2 weeks in my whole almost 37 weeks of pregnancy :( sigh.
So anyway, I go in to see my normal Dr. on Monday morning, we will see if this little girl is making any progress and I WILL BE FULL TERM :) Oh man it's getting so close! Can't wait to meet her.
P.S. I bet you all are dying to know the name :) Well we are pretty sure we have it and we have shared with family and friends but my blogger friends you are going to wait in anticipation for the big unvailing of the name when she arrives!! I have to keep some sort of surprise during this whole thing, right???
HAVE A GREAT WEKEND EVERYONE!!
