12 Week Check Up

Ok so I am bit behind in writing this. I knew I would be behind the 8-ball when I started blogging so bear with me.


Our 12 week check up was the 22nd of September. I dredded getting on the scale but it was not that bad, only up 6 lbs in a month. If the weight gain keeps up like this, I will be really happy. I just feel so fat and frumpy these days. I wanted to loose the baby weight before we tried again. Well looks like someone had other plans for us.


After a bit we waited and the nurse came in. She took my blood pressure. Not so good news. The bottom number was a bit high. That is not what I wanted to hear. I thought lets not start this again so soon! I was diagnosed with Pregnancy Induced Hipertention with my son. Hopefully the Bp will bahave from now on. I am sure having two kids and my husband in the room did not help.

We had a resident come in to look for the heartbeat. After about 2 min she was not able to find it. This sends me into panic mode. The last obgyn we had was not able to find the heartbeat with my son until about 15 min later. She was pushing on my belly hard to try and hear it, that was not the most pleasant thing to feel. She then brought out the potable ultrasound and was able to find the heartbeat. I was already in tears by this point, but to hear it was a relief. Ok so fastforward to this appointment, the doctor came in and was able to find the heartbeat in about 5 min. Ok thank you god!

She said everything looks and sounds good. The nurse came back in to take my bp again. The bottom number was still high. She contributed it to stress from getting to the office etc. So far they do not want to monitor it but I think I will, just in case. Oh and sorry bun, no more salami for you.
