I had my 36 week appointment with Dr. Gummer this week.
He was pleased with my belly measurements but not my blood pressure and swollen feet.
Prior to pregnancy it was common for my diastolic (lower number) to be slightly high. At this appointment the nurses had to check my blood pressure 3x while I was at there. The doctor said high blood pressure is an early sign of preeclampsia so I needed to start taking it easy.
Doctor's orders- start working from home as much as I can and put my feet up!
Before I can totally relax there was 1 item that I wanted us to check off our to do list- Childbirth class. Kelly was a trooper and headed over to Northside with me to listen to a nurse go over the different birthing positions and what to expect at the hospital.
This week my belly has dropped. Our baby boy is getting ready to make his arrival.
