Whew, glad that's over...

in 3rd Trimester

I had my 28 week appointment today. The actual appointment itself was totally uneventful. I lost a pound, am measuring right on Target, and baby's heartrate was in the 140s as usual. They didn't have any Glucola in the clinic so I had to drink it in the lab instead of at the beginning of my appointment. I also said I was taking my birthing class at a differant hospital, so my doc offered to set me up with a tour right then and there. Even though I knew this was already going to be a long afternoon, I went up for the tour. The tour, quite frankly, freaked me out. Seeing all the... stuff. Seeing a woman walking around in labor, checking out the tub... totally and completely shook me up. But I'm better now. SO, then I go to the lab, drink the Glucola (which was not bad tasting). As I drink mine, another woman comes in with 2 young daughters and drinks hers. She then proceeds to yell at her loud kids for the next HOUR. So that was awesome. Then they FINALLY took my blood...4 vials.... one of which was second syph test? I guess my doc thinks I'm a big syphy slut.

THEN, I go back to make my next appointment, 2 weeks from today.  I hadn't even thought of the date until she said it. March 24th. The 1 year anniversary of my miscarriage. Which occured in the hospital my doctor's office is in. In the ER that shares an entrance with my docs. So I have to be in the hospital it happened in, on the day. My heart just saaaaank. Maybe it'll be cathartic. Ugh.

UGH WHAT A LONG STUPID AFTERNOON.

    Wednesday is my day off, so I usually schedule for Wednesdays... and it was reallllllly hard for them to find a time for me on that Wednesday so I would've felt like a jerk being like.... aaaaaaactualllllly.... so I will just have to tough it out I think,

    Sorry about your loss and their bad scheduling.  Maybe they can change it for you, and it might be better as your blood pressure might be elevated from your thoughts. 

    We are on the same dr schedule though....my 28 week appointment was today too and I am scheduled the same day that you are.
