This morning went very smooth, I got to the OB office 30 minutes early so I just sat and read some magazines. They called me back and had me give a urine sample and then it was time to take blood. She didn't use a butterfly needle, probably just because she was a bitch, but it ended up working just fine. I saw the OB a few minutes later, heard the baby's heartbeat and she measured my tummy, all is well. I haven't gained a pound in the past month either, weird, but true.
When I gave my urine sample I noticed a little bit of red blood on my panty liner, but it did not worry me because I knew what it is. My "area" has become so overly irritated by the discharge that it is swollen and itchy. I try to keep it clean and try but it has become nearly impossible. I talked to the OB about this and she said that she thinks I should try Desatin.. a baby butt cream for diaper rash. I'm willing to try anything to soothe the area. And as I just wrote that I started to wonder if my brother-in-law still reads this blog on occasion...hmmm....oh well, Hi Marc!
That's it for today's update, I start my bi-weekly appointments at the OB and will be back on 9/15 for my, gulp, 30 week checkup. The weather has been so nice and cool for the past 2 days, if it stayed like this, I could be pregnant forever! (Don't quote me on that, it is obviously a HUGE exaggeration! lol) Have a good week!
