Cruising Along

My break from doctors appointments ended last week. I had an appointment with the high risk practice today and my regular OB last week. Both were pretty uneventful. For today's appointment, I made it in and out in 30 minutes, which never happens because they run so late. The baby looks great. He is 2 1/2 lbs. now and is measuring 27 weeks. This is a few days ahead of schedule, but really only because they insist on dating the pregnancy inaccurately, which I know I keep mentioning. I saw Dr. Jolly again. I used to be a fan of his, but not so much lately, because feel like he has been on autopilot during my last few appointments. According to him, the anatomy looks great, fluid levels are good, placenta looks good, heart has no problems. I'm still supposed to keep going to the cardiologist because .... I really have no clue why. My regular OB said once you get referred out to the cardiologist, they will always want to scan in the 3rd trimester even if there is no real problem. Ah, well, at least insurance is paying for it.

I don't go back for another scan for 6 weeks. At first, I was happy about that, since I'm a bit tired of all these doctors appointments, but I have been thinking now that maybe is a bit too casual. I'll be 32 weeks then, which puts me a bit later then when the baby started having growth problems my last pregnancy. I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Careful, at least, who I have yet to see this pregnancy because our schedules never match up. He is always so meticulous and detail oriented, so I will be able to feel like everything is being looked at closely. I see the cardiologist next week and then the week after that I'm back to the regular OB for my 1 hour glucose test.
