Dr. visit today was fast and furious. This is one thing that I don't enjoy about my doctor. I have no doubt about her knowledge and ability, but her bedside manner really sucks. She doesn't really take the time to explain anything unless you basically beg her...
Anyhow, everything is looking good. I'm up 6.5 lbs from the beginning of my pregnancy (I gained 2lbs this past month), blood pressure was 114/75. Baby's heart rate was about 150. She was moving around an awful lot during the exam.
The doctor also told me that I am Rh negative which means that at my next visit I will get a rhogam shot to ensure that everything will be fine for the delivery. Next visit is April 21st. I'll also have my glucose test then to make sure my blood sugar isn't too high.
Here's a link for anyone who is interested in reading about rh-negative blood and how it can affect me and the baby

I will be meeting with my new Dr. in Wharton soon and I'll probably start seeing him after this next visit.
