Today was just a routine checkup and Q&A with the doctor. I had a medical student in today, and she seemed pretty nervous (but trying to hide it) so I ended up feeling even more comfortable chatting with her. The doctor I had today was Dr. Breckman and she was really nice too. Under her supervision, she had Anamaria (the student) feel for my uterus. And I was able to learn how they do it! She said that she feels along the pelvis until she reaches a "ridge" or "drop off" and that's how she knows. Cool, hey? And apparently my uterus is 18 inches from pubic bone to top.
We did another fetal heart rate today and baby must've been sleeping since the heart rate was 144 bpm. However, it is my understanding that the larger the baby, the slower the heart rate, so it makes sense. And over 140 bpm is considered a girl, lol.
My ultrasound is scheduled for November 30th (yay!) and my next doctor's appointment won't be until December 2nd, which is the same week. And at that point I'll be 20 weeks (or 5 months).
