lesliepearSaw my doctor tonight.
Blood Pressue 130/80 (same as in regular MD's office last Thursday).
She's ok with that as long as the low # stays 80, if it went up they'd
have me lie down on my side for a bit.
Weight up 5.5, total of 22 - they aren't worried.
Checked the heartbeat. No internal or pelvic exam - I get the Strep test
in 2 weeks.
No concern about the 2 medicines from the last week - for the thrush or
the antibiotic.
No concern about my swollen feet except to keep them up, and they may get
worse :(
No opinion on red rasberry leaf tea or evening primose oil. I guess that
means I could use them?
DH came with me and heard the heartbeat. He thought it sounds like
walking :)
Oh, while waiting for the doctor, the TV in the office was on Friends and
had the first half of last season's finale on - where Rachel's overdue
and she sees the doctor with Ross and asks for advice how to get it over
with (spicy food, etc.)
Kind of amusing for that episode to be on in the OB/GYN's office!

Date: 2002-09-13 05:11 pm (UTC)I remember the swollen feet. Mine didn't swell until the 7th month or so, and then only on very hot days. ONe sweltering day I was in a meeting at work and looked down at my feet and saw my ankles spilling over my shoes. I was startled because they'd never looked like that before, so right in the middle of the meeting I kind of yelled, "Oh my G--!" and then, of course, had to explain to everyone else (men) what was going on.
