1st OB Appointment

Met with my new OB today, Dr. S! He is really nice and seems pretty laid back. He moved my due date back to Dec. 8th based on my LMP. I am betting it is going to continue to change though with the next u/s. He said I can resume aerobics as long as it's not high impact. Not sure when I will feel like going back to the aerobics class. I want to - but am afraid I won't be able to keep up like I used to..especially if I'm supposed to do the low-key version of it. So, for now, I will stick to the elliptical and weights.

Dr. S did an abdominal ultrasound (my first!). You couldn't see the baby nearly as well as with the other u/s. But, we did see the baby's heart beating and the Doc pointed out it's arm and leg and head. I couldn't make it out though. He said that I have a tilted uterus and that the baby was way back there so that is why the image wasn't that great. But, he said that he expects no problems from a tilted uterus - phew. He also continued my progesterone treatment for another two weeks. This time in pill form - hooray! I thought I was SO done with the progesterone - I stopped last night per Dr. R's recommendation. When Dr. S asked me if I would like to continue, I was glad he being cautious and thorough. In my head though, I was thinking OH NO (that was before I was offered the pill form). But of course, anything for Baby T. Just want him/her to be growing healthily!

Then, off to the lab we went and I had about 4 vials of blood drawn. The lab tech was amazing - the best one I'd seen in a long time. I didn't even feel her stick me. They're doing tests for like cystic fibrosis genes and other stuff. Got all sorts of booklets to read - looking forward to flipping through those tonight. My next appointment is in a month.
