For someone like myself who has never been the doctor for anything less than a broken bone, my OBGYN sure is trying to find something wrong with me. I am now 28 weeks preggo and after the doctor visit today, this is now the 4th time they have tried to find something wrong with me! How many things can be wrong with one pregnant lady?!?
It started when I went for my first initial visit to find out how far along I was and they tried to tell me that there was a small amount of liquid above the sack that could be a serious problem... which has now went away and has turned out to be nothing. Then after my 20 week ultrasound to check her growth and to find out that we were having a beautiful baby girl, they decide to call me a few days later to say that they noticed something in the ultrasound that could mean she may have down syndrome! So after a few days of being a complete wreck, Zack and I went to another doctor's visit to have another ultrasound done.. which ended with a full bill of health and some super cute ultrasound pics. Now after not passing the first gestational diabetes testing, I now have to starve myself for 18 hours to have them repeat the sugar drink incident for 3 hours and of course blood work....resulting in 2 highly upset fat kids (Cassie and myself). Today's doctor's visit ended in more scheduled appointments and, yet again, another potiential problem. Apparently I had a high level of protein in my urine which could potientially mean that I have hypertension (although my blood pressure has been amazing since I've been preggo..go figure) so my prize for this accomplishment is....*drum roll*..... I get to pee in a orange bucket for 24 hours then turn it in to LabCorp the next day followed by... yep you guessed it, more blood work! If anything has caused me to have hyperstension it's these doctors trying to find any and everything wrong with me and then finding out that Cassie and I are completely healthy and normal numerous times over. Personally, I think they are trying to milk the military insurance for money at the expense of my nerves. And they wonder why pregnant women are so cranky!!
*results of the two tests will be posted soon*

Well, your daddy says he hopes nothing at all is wrong, BUT he agrees with you. He is not one who likes doctors or tests so he thinks maybe they are milking you. But he wants you to be careful. He also said he thinks they could be making sure that all their t's are crossed and i's are dotted so that if ANYTHING at all shows up THEY won't get the blame.
