34 week appointment

Blood pressure was good.

Weight increased....and if it keeps increasing at this speed I'm still going to gain 20 more pounds.

Zachary's heart rate was 141.

I learned that I will be hooked up to antibiotics when I go into labor - because of my heart....

She checked to see what position Zach was in - he is head down, so I'm hoping he stays that way. She showed me where his butt and head were - it's neat knowing what you are feeling.

I go back in 2 weeks and then it's weekly from there.......

  1. Most hospitals hook you up to an IV when you get there regardless of getting an epidural(they are awesome!!!) or not. So you won't even notice the antibiotics. Oh and just a heads up, the needle they put in your arm for the IV is HUGE! I assume it is the same in Jeff as in Rolla. It hurt, they left it in the whole time I was there( they used to take them out after you peed twice) and it left a scar on my arm.
    When you go back you should get your first cervical exam. Hope you are dilated and thinned out by then.

  2. Yes, Danielle was hooked up to an IV - so I figured it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. Just kind of scary when you are dealing with your heart! You're right - starting at 36 weeks I'll start getting "checked"...can't wait - HAHAHA!
