OB apt results 1/31/2012

Babies HB in the 150's, so good.

BP slightly elevated. Concerned and watching. Lot on our plate, stress, suggested relaxation techniques to help.

Up 10#. I knew this, need to get on treadmill. Doc orders. Bugger!!!

Asked about why I'm still so fatigued. Was told the "golden" time in PG usually occurs in the first PG, not so much in subsequent PG's. Great. So the extra "energy" probably isn't going to come. But will hopefully get slightly better from the added exercise.

Had 1 hr GT test this morning, found out after I didn't need to fast. Could have eaten up to 2 hours prior. Good to know for the next one. The 3 hr GT is no food after midnight. Guess I mixed these two up. Opps.

Also got ultra screen blood draw to check neural tube defects. Told OB I didn't want to know the results. If bad, a new blood test can be done that is just as effective as amnio and non invasive.

No amnio and we are all ok with this.

Next u/s should also show if neural tube defect seen. Also anatomy scan if baby cooperates. That happens in 2 more weeks, on 2/16 at 8:15am. First scan of day, runs about 1 hour. Taly should come. I checked, it's okay if she's there. :)

Next OB on 2/28 at 9:39am. Routine and discuss results of today's blood draws and u/s scan.

All in all, still low risk. All going well. Will soon be talking about c/s and tube tying options.
