I just came from my 35wk- she said not much to do about the ankles/ etc swelling except what I was already doing...since my blood pressure and everything checked out. So I am at work with my legs on my co-workers chair (she is out and I put a blnkt down-no shoes) lemon water in my swell bottle and compressions socks on!
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
I had a regular checkup today. It was with the doctor who tends to focus and comment on weight gain. I was shocked she didn't say anything since she usually does. She confirmed what I had suspected based on where I feel movement, which is that the baby is positioned head down, but diagonally across me. My next appointment is a growth u/s.
I also went to the diabetes monitoring place today for my first appointment. It was definitely a better experience than when I was pregnant with DS2, but it does seem like they're quick to push insulin. I have enough trouble pricking my finger 4x per day so I'm really hoping to avoid that. I wish there was a better alternative to monitoring than this place, but maybe I'll have better interactions with the staff this time.

I hate when doctors dismiss concerns like that. Mine have been pretty good this time but I've switched providers in the past because of it.
