32 Week Appointment

9/18/2012

0 Comments

 
Today I attended my centering appointment for our 32 week check up. My weight is increasing, which is good news, but I'm still quite a bit below where I need to be. Blood pressure was fine. And my belly is growing exactly on schedule. The baby's heart rate was 138 beats per minute. After our belly checks we watched a video on the stages of labor that was rather graphic and difficult to stomach, especially for a prego still dealing with morning sickness. I've seen several videos with graphics/cartoon images, but seeing a real baby coming out of a real vagina is quite another experience. I would rather not have seen that--ick! Just glad Tim missed that part. The men in attendance were squirming immensely, although the women were too =). Tim and I were supposed to attend an infant care class tonight, but Tim has to fly so hopefully we can make that class up next month. 

I'm so thankful Baby A. is growing on target and everything seems to be going well! Only about 8 more weeks to go.
