Back at my 30-Week appointment, I made a note about how it seems like appointments seem to run late more in the afternoon than in the mornings, so of course there was an emergency this morning to where both OBs from my office were stuck in surgery well past their 7:30am scheduled C-section times. Come 9:30, they still weren't back at the offices which left them a whole lot of impatient patients in their exam and waiting rooms. I was fine though; nothing to get my heart rate up over. :)
The appointment was fine. After assuring the doctor that waiting is not that big a deal for me -- it's nice to know that she gives you the proper amount of attention; I feel good knowing that she would do the same for me in the same situation! -- she let me know that the baby's heart rate is good and that I gained three pounds in the last two weeks. Whoops. And that was with my haircut and everything!
I think the only question I had for her is whether I should be doing anything to try and get JJ to move down (he's sitting somewhere around my lungs/neck right now; a perfect shelf for that bowl of ice cream!). She said no, it's still too early, then added "but there's not really anything you need to do anyways; he'll move down when he's ready to move down". Well, I'M ready for him to move down, so I hope he gets on board soon. Although, I have appreciated that the trade-off that I've been able to hold onto my bladder throughout the pregnancy even if I haven't been able to breathe.
Next appointment is in two weeks, at which time Dr. Jaffee will start checking my cervix (softening? widening? whatever) and I'll start going to see her every week. It's absolutely incredible how quickly this pregnancy has gone!
