So we had another doctor's appointment this morning at Sarpy County OBGYN. We are currently meeting with Dr. McFadden, since my regular Doctor ( Dr. Thatcher) is on vacation. I really do like Dr. McFadden, he has a much more laid back approach to ideas and cracks some pretty great jokes. So it has been a crazy week, see post below, and of course you know its sad when you look forward to going to the doctor because it means you get to get out of the house.
So at my appointment, my blood pressure looked good, which is nice. We have been told that is why I am on bed rest, well now it looks like I am showing signs of preeclampsia, mainly with the high blood pressure, I have been lucky in not getting to swollen in the hands and feet. The few times I have become swollen I have laid down for about 15-20 minutes and it has gone down.
Although today, Dr. McFadden did notice that I am gaining fluid...as I have gained 9 lbs in 4 days... let me tell you I am not happy about, so the solution, drink more fluids and hopefully I will lose some of that fluid. We have another appointment on Wednesday with Methodist so we will see what Dr. Robertson has to say about this baby girl.
