OB appointment March 23I had my OB appointment on March 23, and I am officially off work- doctor's orders. I now have weekly OB appointments, and lab tests (blood and urine) to monitor kidney and liver function and protein in my urine. I also have to take my BP 3-4 times a day (this is my new full time job). There is a very good possibility I will start BP meds this week.
I weighed 188 pounds at my appointment, which is the same as two weeks ago, but no one seemed concerned about it (and I definitely know my belly is growing!).
The Doctor performed a cervical examination and determined my cervix was tilted towards the back and appropriate 2 cm long and maybe a tight 1 cm dilated. This is a positive change and does not indicate preterm labour. She said the cervix is like an accordion and can frequently change length.
The ultrasound showed the boy babe practice breathing and the girl babe was facing my spine head down with her chin tucked in- the perfect birthing position. She's on it!
I still feel good and there is lots of movement from the babes.
Kyle and I had a productive weekend clearing out the garage and purging the house. It feels good to get rid of clutter 😀.

How wonderful that everything is progressing at it should be! I wonder if the baby girl might be born first? It’s all so exciting. Glad you can have some time to relax and get things organized.
I think she will be born first, she has been in the presenting position the entire pregnancy. The time off will be nice… Kyle says I am a women of leisure now haha!!
Leisure? Ha! Just wait for a little while or several years and ask him what happened to your leisure time.
Oh yes! He knows haha. He’s just being funny ??
So glad you are off work Janet – you will be happy for a litle R&R before the kids arrive!! Build your stamina and enjoy! Not too long now sweetie!
Thanks!! Yes it will be nice to have sown downtime before babes arrive. ?
