Good First Doctor's Appt

Hey everyone -- I had a good first appt. Baby measured 7w6d which is on target and hb was 169. Hooray!

Some interesting advice/info from Doctor I thought I'd pass along:

Backpain is normal may or may not be pregnancy related. Some times has to do with constipation.
Discharge -- also normal. Because of hormones your body makes discharge daily.
Breast Tenderness -- tends to be more pronounced in first pregnancy. Otherwise really varies. So don't worry if pain isn't constant!!
Symptoms vary from day to day
She suggested 50mg of vitamin B6 for nausea.

Oh and here was one I'd never heard before -- she suggested I abstain from oral sex! I guess there's too much bacteria in your significant other's mouth. I almost laughed out loud at that one.

Thanks for the p&pt!!

I am so glad your appt went well! What a great relief! So did you get to actually hear the heartbeat? None of my dr.'s have done that yet and I'm excited to hear it. Those pointers are helpful, too. I have been having backpain off and on and sleeping with a body pillow has helped a lot. I am going to start prenatal yoga later this week so hopefully that will help keep my body stress-free, too!
