I had my appointment with the Perinatal doctor yesterday. They measured the baby's spine, legs, arms, head, etc and now my due date is September 27 instead of September 28. The baby is growing right on target!
They checked my cervix and it measured 4 cm which is good and it is closed which is even better! My blood pressure was 137/72 which is a little higher than usual, but he wasn't worried.
The doctor wants me to start weekly progesterone shots to try and prevent preterm labor. The nurse is supposed to call me today and let me know when those will start. If I had this kind of doctor when I was pregnant with Jordyn, she might not have been born 2 months early.
And finally, I asked the doc if it was too early to tell the sex of the baby and immediately he found out it was a GIRL! He said he was 70/30 sure but I do have another appointment on April 28th and then will find out for sure (or as sure as possible) if in fact I'm having a girl! I like the name Emberly Danielle Grimm.
I'm just so thankful that the baby seems to be developing good and seems to be healthy! Thank you Jesus!
But I wanted a boyyyyyyy!
ReplyDeleteWell, the important thing is its growing and seems to be doing good.
Hope you are feeling good these days, when do you start these shots?
Everyone wanted a boy! Too funny. I am feeling much better than the first 3 months. I am supposed to get the medication in the mail on Thursday and I have an OB appt that evening, so I guess they will give me that shot then.
