24 Week Appointment
12
Fri, 09-21-2007 - 2:58pm

Everything was fine today, except I've gained 10 lbs since my last visit. Ugh. I was expecting it, though, with being on vacation (and eating everything in sight) for a week, plus being out of town 3 days this week and eating out the whole time... Other than that, all was well - she said the baby's heartbeat sounded very good. I told her I'd started having BH, and she gave me the standard "if you have 4-6 in an hour, put your feet up and drink 2 big glasses of water, then call if they don't slow down." My feet and ankles are swelling more regularly now, but once it gets cooler, I'll go back to my support knee-hi's which help.

At my next appt., I'll have my glucose tolerance test, blood test for anemia and antibodies (since I'm RH negative), followed a couple days later by my Rhogam shot.

Hello Kitty,


I'm so happy that the baby's HB sounded good and that you had a great appointment. Good Luck with your Glucose test next time. I also am RH- but since my DH has the same blood type as me I don't have to get the rhogam shot.

Sounds like we're in the same boat! I have my GTT in a week...and I'm having BH too. I had 10 in a hour last week, but got them to stop by laying on my side and drinking H2O. Hope your GTT comes back negative! :)
