On another beautiful Spring day, I had my 19 week prenatal check up with my midwife. She always spends about 1hr with me. At a clinic you will most likely be allowed only 20 min and it seems very rushed. At my midwife checkups, the entire appointment is very calm and you can ask as many questions as you want without feeling rushed.We talked about heart burn, a varicose vein spot on my leg(lovely right?),the importance of seeing a dentist during pregnancy,registering at a hospital just in case we have to transfer, good sources of protein in my diet, etc. We listened to the baby's precious heart beat, which was good and strong and in the 150's. My belly measured at 19cm, which is right on track since I'm 19 weeks. Everything went great!
Afterwards, I went grocery shopping for my son Tucker's 2nd birthday party this weekend. I Can't believe I have a 2 yr old and another one on the way! Am I crazy? I'm truly blessed :) Looking forward to my one and only ultrasound next week, where we'll hopefully find out the sex of the baby!
