Time flies! It’s time for another monthly Doctor’s visit. It’s the same old routine again. We got there; we waited; weight and urine test; blood pressure; fetus heart rate; a measure of the tummy. Although the Doctor did say that based on the measurement of the tummy, the baby is 2 weeks ahead!
Dr. Chen also told Amy that she needs to do a blood test to find out her sugar content of her blood.
Then, it was time for questions.
1) Since we already know that Amy will be doing a caesarian, when the contractions come this time, do we still have to wait till the contractions gets to x minute interval and lasting over y seconds?
Answer: No. As soon as you feel anything, go straight to the hospital.
2) And once we arrived at the hospital, will the nurse make us wait until “x minute; y seconds”?
Answer: No. The nurse will page me as soon as possible and I will come in for the surgery.
3) Amy has been feeling some pain around her lower right abdominal area. What’s up with that, Dr. Dude?
Answer: Hmm… (looking at Addison) this little one is a ‘risk’ to your pregnancy. Even though you are not lifting him up, you are still constantly looking after him, picking things up for him, and pulling/pushing him here and there. The next time you feel the pain again, go straight to the hospital and ask for a fFN test.
Our visit ended after the questions, and we returned home right after. Our next visit is in a month’s time.
