I had my doctors appointment this morning...it was the first time I saw her since I got diagnosed with GD. Maximiliano is measuring 31 weeks which is right on target. He seems to be of average size which is great and my blood pressure and pee were fine as well. She said my numbers definitely showed I have GD but that I'm doing great, and just have to keep up the good work and really watch what I eat. I went in with several questions today...and this is what she said:
Questions:
Whats her opinion on the H1N1 flue shot, and should i get it?
Answer:
Absolutely YES. She highly recommend Steve and I both get it. She said she usually isn't a flu shot freak, but thinks this year it's very important and sees no risks whatsoever. So we will be getting one, so the antibodies can be passed on to Max.
Question:
What will happen when Steve and I move to Greenwich next month and I go into labor...will I have enough time to get to the hospital?
Answer:
Absolutely. First baby especially will be much longer and I will have hours before my first contraction and the birth of Max. What a relief!
Question:
Can I color my hair...I'm in dire need of it!
Answer:
Absolutely
Question:
What is her rule on inductions, how far past my due date would she let me go before she would do it.
Answer:
Not far, probably not even a week since I'm a high risk pregnancy. That is great news since I know he will come around my due date now.
Question:
How is Max positioned in my belly right now?
Answer:
Head down, his butt to my upper left side, and feet to my upper right side...he is curled up.
Those are just a few that I had...I'm relieved everything is looking great. I weighed in at 145 pounds which puts me at having gained a total of 26 pounds so far. My next appointment will be in two weeks.
Good questions! Glad to know everything is still going well.
