I had my first internal exam today. I was sooo nervous because I was scheduled to see a *gasp* man! I've never had a male doctor for that purpose. I've been rotating through the office and know it's no big deal, but still, I was nervous.
I gained 8 pounds since my appointment 8 days ago... 8 POUNDS!
My blood pressure was 145/78. Last week it was 110/70. Huge difference.
I also mentioned that I haven't been feeling Connor move around as much.
So I had my internal along with my group B strep test. It was all over quicker than I could blink.
Then the doctor put me on a fetal monitor to monitor Connor's heartrate and movement. He moved a lot during that time.
After sitting on the monitor for about 20 minutes I spoke with the doctor and he warned that I could be at risk for pre-eclampsia or toxemia because of my BP and weight gain. I have to go back tomorrow for a BP check.
If my BP doesn't go down, he's pulling me out of work.
Cross those fingers for me!
