First OB Appointment

My first OB appointment was with Dr. Nuessner, the doctor’s PA. She’s really cool – I saw her last year for my physical and at that point, we had talked about preconception things. So she was really excited to see me again. Greg came with me to the appointment. It was pretty cool. She went through my blood tests and stuff…said everything looks pretty good, but that my progesterone level was a little low (not super low, just border-line low). They’ve got me on progesterone suppository right now. I would be on it another 6 weeks or so. Yup.

She said my hCG levels have skyrocketed, which is a really good sign. It went from 4000 to 20,000 in 5 days. We also found out that my blood type is AB+. I never knew that. LOL.

Anyway, we did a sonogram, and saw the little tiny baby. The heart was just beating away at 130 bpm. S/he is at exactly the right size. We measured, and she could tell how far along s/he is. It was pretty accurate. For now, we’re looking at a October 2nd due date. :o )

I’ve got another follow up appointment in a couple of weeks where they’ll monitor the heartbeat and the baby’s size some more.
