Dr. Appt today

I loveee hearing that heartbeat.   The HR was 157.  It's a little lower than it was initially but the initial HR was 189 so he said it's normal for it to come down from that.  The heartbeat was nice and strong and they baby must have been  doing summer salts because we kept losing the heartbeat, then the Dr. would have to chase the little thing around to find it again.

I got the results back from my genetic screening test, the one for down syndrome and a couple of other things and they were all normal  one less thing to worry about.

On another note I told my OB I would not be taking the regular glucose test and he told me I had to.  I told him I have reactive hypoglycemia and he told me he had never heard of it??? Then I explained it and I told him if I waited an hour in between drinking the stuff and the blood test they would have to revive me from a hypoglycemic coma.  I told him I would not do any test before I talked to the high risk OB and he was satisfied with that.

I like my OB office, there are 5 Dr.'s in the practice and whoever on call delivers the baby.  I had never seen this Dr. before.  He was a little flaky but I schooled him on RNY GBS.

Next regular OB appt it on Dec 23 and our BIG U/S is on the second!!! I cannot wait!!

I love that your doc told you that you HAD to take the glucose test..... Really? wth.

I'm glad things are looking good :)

LOL i know, he also told me there were "no" other tests...

Thanks!

 mine told me the same thing at first....there are 5 docs in my practice and whoever is on call delivers the baby.  we are supposed to rotate, but I have only found 1 in the office who knows ANYTHING about RNY and is very good....so I've been seeing her EVERY visit.....I like it when my doc knows what she is talking about. lol. 


all the rest of them looked at me like i had 12 heads when I told them I wasn't doing the regular gestational diabetes test.  

grrrr.  it bothers me :)

Glad to hear things went well with the baby. I hope they can figure out a glucose test that will work for you, you'd think they would have an alternative test.
