This morning was my 28 week check up. I started with drinking the glucose drink (5 minutes to drink it) – which is really not that bad – and after an hour had my blood drawn. While I was waiting I had my check up. Dr Young said I was measuring fine and asked me how everything was going – no cramping, feeling the baby move, etc. I told him how Steve never really gets to feel the baby (or other babies) move and he told me a little trick…use an electric toothbrush! All you have to do is put the base against the tummy for 15-20 seconds and the vibration will wake the baby up. LOL – I’m SO going to try that! Is that mean? Oh well!
Here’s some great news (well, for me!). Dr Young told me when I’ll be able to stop getting the progesterone shots! He said most doctors will wait until 36 weeks, but he’ll check to make sure my cervix isn’t ‘opening’ at 34 weeks and if it’s not, he’ll let me stop then. I can handle only 6 weeks left of hip shots! SCHWEET!
