28 week appointment
I had my 28 week appointment this morning. I got there early, drank the lovely orange drink - which really wasn't that bad if you ignore the after taste - and then went up to my appt. I thought for sure I was going to have to leave to get the blood work done because the doctor was running so late. She came in right when I decided I had to leave! So, I figured it shouldn't take too long. She did the fundal height measurement right away and I measured at 26 1/2 weeks. She measured again... and then again with a puzzled look. She said it's somewhere between 26 1/2 and 27 weeks. They won't be concerned until it is 2 weeks behind. I am pretty sure she was a little worried. She then listened for baby's heartrate. And found it (I could tell right away) and then checked to make sure she wasn't listening to my heart - not sure if the number wasn't reading on the doppler. But it made me even more concerned because I felt like she was worried that baby wasn't going to have a heartbeat. But she said she'd see me in 2 weeks, and I took off for the lab so I made it in the hour. I made it within seconds. So, hopefully my belly will catch up to where it is supposed to be or I get an ultrasound for peace of mind next time...

I'm sure all is well as the fundal height is not an accurate science. Maybe you will get an ultrasound out of deal and get another peak at baby boy! Try not to stress about it. (((Hugs)))
