Prenatal Checkup #2

This morning marked our second prenatal visit. Not too eventful though. I told Dr. Eichenlaub about my headaches and nauseau but of course these are normal. He didn't even get upset with the 3 pounds I've gained since last time. He's more concerened about the cumulative weight gain, not the month to month gaining. He listened for the heartbeat but really didn't get a good reading. He heard enough to know things sound OK but the heart rate was hard to figure out. He guessed 150 ppm. I told him I have a doppler at home, and 2 nights ago it was at 154. He was surprised that I had one, and asked where I got it. I simply told him 'online', where else! I'm scheduled to have some genetic testing done on Thursday with the Maternal Fetal Specialist. They'll do another Ultrasound and a blood test (on me) to determine the chances of the baby having genetic defects. Keep your fingers crossed that everything comes back OK!!

Other than that, the appointment was pretty uneventful. I forgot to ask my official due date though! I'll have to ask the specialist on Thursday what the due date is. I hope to get a picture of the baby from the ultrasound too, but I'm not sure they give pictures there.
