36 1/2 week check up

Today was a day full of doctors. I had an appointment with my psychologist this morning. She thinks I'm doing great. I won't be back to see her for a couple months now. This afternoon I had my 36 1/2 week check up. Blood pressure and urine are still good. I had to redo the group B strep test because they couldn't read the results last time. Not sure what that means. The baby's heartbeat was still a consistent 152. I'm still dilated 1 cm and 50% effaced. My OB checked on my swelling again. Since I've been having quite a bit of pain in my legs she thought it would be best to go ahead and do an ultrasound. So I had to drive across town to Blodgett. They did an ultrasound of my right leg. It took about an hour. Thankfully they didn't see any blood clots. So the pain must just be from the swelling. I'm building up a lot of fluid in my legs. I can tell by looking at them and by my weight gain. Not pleasant. But it's not long now until the baby arrives. 15 days to go! The baby is still very active and taking up every little bit of space possible. We're very excited to see how he/she acts out in the real world :) My next appt. is April 9.
