Doctor visit today

[luckyme225]

I'm nervous and excited. I had to go in last week for high blood pressure so hopefully today I'll get the ok to go on as normal. This is my normal 16 week appointment so hopefully all is well.

 

[skiwi]

good luck hun,

Hope your BP is back to normal hon, good luck! I bet you can't wait to hear your little ones heart again

I hope everything goes ok!! I have always had normal BP, and 2 appts ago, I went in and it was unusually high. They checked again before I left and it was low again. I think because I was nervous, and I had eaten Cheez Its before LOL which are salty. I hope its back to normal, and you get to hear your baby!!!

 

[luckyme225]

It was a good appointment. My BP is now borderline so I don't have to go in next week yay! My little ones heart rate was 145 so I was happy. I also got to make my sex ultrasound appointment which is December 14th. They did take my blood today those stinkers!!

 

[skiwi]

glad everything turned out well, hope baby's legs are not crossed, for ultra sound

Grrr I'm having my bloods tomorro but the hospital have a policy of not telling the sex of the baby so I won't know unless I pay £100 for a private scan

 

[luckyme225]

Yikes.... I wonder if there is somewhere else you can go and get it for cheaper??

Yeah this will be the first ultrasound my OH will be able to attend so I hope baby decides to be nice. I'll probably drink coffee before hand to see if that might get baby moving around. I haven't had an ultrasound since about 7 weeks so It's been a very llooonnnggg wait! 3 more weeks.

 

[skiwi]

that is bad charging £100

 

[xCherylx]

Yeah its at a private clinic...and I really wanna know the sex so I have to pay

 

[Jenny]

Glad everything turned out great.
Drink some orange juice for the U/S, it supposedly works. Good luck with the U/S hon, I hope the bub co-operates

 

[Tam]

Glad your blood pressure is stabilising now!

 

[luckyme225]

Thank you ladies!! Yes very excited BP is going down. I have heard of drinking orange juice before ultrasounds to get babies moving but I don't care for the taste of it. I wonder if Sunny D will do

 

[VanWest]

luckyme, what where your numbers? I wonder if your like me I call it White Coat Syndrome. Sometimes I get really nervous and my blood pressure jumps, intill I feel "safe" and then it's fine. I have gotten better though, my last appt mine was 108/64 pretty good for a fat girl I hope it all works out at your ultrasound Im going to try the orange juice thing too.
