I had my 30 week OB appointment and weekly progesterone shot today. Everything looks good; I measure
right on and Bug's heart rate sounds nice and strong. They were still
concerned about my blood pressure after taking it today because it went up to 140/60 (I'm usually 104/50ish), so they had
me do full labs to be sure nothing is amiss. When they took my BP after
the labs it was down to 120/50, so that's headed in the right direction at least! The doctor wasn't too concerned because I have no other 'issues' in regards to high blood pressure, but they just want to be extra careful due to my history of pre-term labor.
I
didn't want to see this particular doctor today because she is NOT my favorite,
but she was much nicer today than I remember. I really liked how she
referred to Bug by name and, when discussing the possibility of
pre-eclampsia with me, she used Ian's name too. It made it much more personal.
I had told Sean that if she were the doctor on duty when I went in to
labor I'd be keeping my legs crossed until her shift ended, but after
today I don't think that will be necessary. So, as of now there is only one doctor that I really, really don't want to be the one to deliver Bug, and four that I really, really hope are there.
