Doctor's visit was yesterday. All is good. I am 34 weeks pregnant! My vitals: BP 121/61, Weight 180lbs.
The sonogram tech. did a biophysical profile - just checking heartbeat, amniotic fluid and general wellness of the baby. All was good. The baby had her arms crossed over her face again. The technician measured several different times for amniotic fluid levels (a concern at the last visit). One was at 30 and the other still at 24. Met with Dr. Matia. She was the first doctor I saw on that very first appt. back in August. The four doctors of the practice have all been working together following my case, but it was nice to see her in person again. Seeing her reminded me of those feelings of shock and disbelief that I had from that very first appt. Dr. Matia also measured the amniotic fluid level and came up with 24 - which is high-norm and the same as last week. So, no worries.
Dr. Matia answered a lot of questions regarding the c-section. I asked about possibly discussing our case with a NICU doctor ahead of time. Dr. Matia thought this was a very good idea and would set that up. If there are any troubles at delivery, the doctors would have an understanding ahead of time of our past circumstances.
I return to the doctor next Wednesday. The photo at the top is of Ava finally being "doctored" (a dream of hers).....
