Midwife appointment.

We had a midwife appointment today. And besides my blood pressure, everything was pretty okay!

Blood pressure was something around 138 .. she never said what the bottom number was, so I assume that was around normal. She asked if I had a headache, I didn't, but I expected it to be high. She didn't seem too concerned, though.

There was a bit of protein in my urine, which she said isn't that uncommon for right now. But of course she will keep an eye on that. After I finish my antibiotics, she'll test me for a urine infection, just to make sure.

Glucose was 5,3 ... which is pretty good considering I had had lunch soon before the appointment.
And iron was 124, which is really good.

Weight was exactly the same ... and again, I get the "are you eating" look from her.. :/ :) I am eating, I eat every meal, I just am not that hungry right now and don't eat very much. But besides no weight gain (maybe went down a little?) my tummy is getting bigger - and that is good.

We went through everything that has happened since I talked to her on Thursday morning. She wasn't surprised that it was impossible to get an appointment at the clinic in town, and she gave us a good recommendation for a private husläkare (family doctor). We went through all my medicine, and told me to not worry about the Tylenol, because I didn't take much of it. And she said she doesn't consider me THAT late in pregnancy, so it shouldn't be so dangerous (or she was trying to help me not feel bad).. :/ :))

Baby's heartbeat was around what it was last time, I think: 135-145.

She thinks the baby is still in a head-down position. I think it was a little difficult for her to feel, but since she was certain the baby was at the last appointment, she is saying that the baby is now, too.. :/ :)) I wasn't very comfy laying on my back, so she was trying to hurry as much as possible.

She explained better why they won't cut me open for a long time considering the abscess. (Explained it better than the doctor and surgeon.)
She said that right now it IS just an inflamed area, and if they cut me open, it is almost certain that the bacteria will just spread to other areas. But if we just wait longer to see if it does become an infection, then it will be very centralized - instead of in lots of areas. Which was a much better reasoning of why than what anyone else said.. :/ :))

After the appointment, Fredrik and I went to the grocery store. I got around okay, but he pretty much demanded that he bring me home afterwards, instead of me going with him to the home-fixing store to get some molding.. :P It was time to take all my pills anyways..

I've done fairly okay today. Either the pain is dying down a little, or I'm just managing it better and putting up with it. :/ :) It IS much easier to walk and stand than it was before. But I get tired very, very easily. I don't have a problem taking naps, now, though.. :D

We're all sorta hoping that Baby shows up a bit early, now, though.. :/ :) So I can get some proper medicine..

Ooooh..! And she said that the.. pain medicine I'm taking, that if I have an epidural, that it will interfere with that - so I have to have a different dose of my epidural anesthetic.. :/ So, they have to be very aware of my medicine.

Next appointment is October 2nd.
