Week 31 OB Appointment

This past Tuesday I went for my 31 week OB appointment. I thought that it would be a regular appointment, but I was there for 35 minutes with Dr. Minkin. He asked how everythign was, so I told him that I was having morning sickness for the past week and a half. He wanted to know if it was just nausea or if I was going all the way to to toilet. I told him it was all the way, almost every morning. He thought that that was weird seeing I have not had any morning sickness and it is not normal to develop it in your third trimester. So I had to get some blood work done, which I did Thursday morning. I will call on Monday morning to speak with him to find out the results. If they come back not so good, I may have to go for monitoring. Monitoring is when they hook you up to the machines and monitor the movement of the baby and other stuff. I had to do it with Lex because my fluid was so low. I am hoping this is not the case. I also had HELLP syndrom with Lex, a rapid onset, but that was not until my 38th week, when he was born. If I develop HELLP, the only way to get rid of it is to deliver the baby. I AM NOT READY FOR THAT!!!! I need time to get things ready for work.

But I am taking it one day at a time. I am doing the little bit of monitoring I can do with the tightness in the back and belly area. And oh yea, he said to keep my stress level down. He obviously does not know where I work!! Stress is something I will have to work on. So right now, I am off to get some school work done just in case. I do not know where to begin. There is so much that needs to be done. I will get it doen though!!!
