24-1-2010 - 14.3 appointment OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



I had my second Docter's appointment the other day! We have been on holidays so this was a super exciting appointment since I havent heard the heart beat at all other than at the ultra sounds. At the appointment I was 14.3 weeks pregnant! My uterus is starting to show, he found the heart beat right away it was 151. At 10 weeks it was 171 at our ultra sound before we went on holidays, it's also very active bouncing all over.

Docter said everything was looking good. Weight is a bit of an issue with me since I wasnt the smallest to begin. So im trying to keep it down. But oh so hard when all you want to do it stuff your face especially when you get home from a holiday where you didnt like any of the food. Beginning of December I weighed 177 pounds, and now im at 170 pounds woohoo...I lost 7 pounds, and over x-mas holidays. He didnt seemed concerned.

We do not have the docters in my town that are capable of deliverying. So I have to make a decision of where I want to have my baby. I have no idea, one city is about a hour away and if you want an epidural there well its the luck of the draw im sure they can only do one a day. So hopefully your the lucky one if you want it.Then there is a city about one hour and a half away, and there you can have an epidural if you want it there is no limit (that i know of) Or there is a city about 2 hours away and that is the main big city with many hospitals. My docter wants my decision in 4 weeks, my next appointment. Does anyone have advice for my or an opinion?

How exciting! FYI... I would kill to weigh 177!! lol!! So dont even be worried about your weight. As far as delivery, from what you described, I would go to the hospital that if you want an epidural, you can have one. or the one by the city. It is an hour away or so away, but well worth the drive. You also need to look at which hospital is the best equiped to handle an emergency. If the first hospital can only do one epidural a day, then what do they do if you need a c-section? Or what kind of nursery they have, just in case an emergency were to arise. Hope that helps, good luck!

I'm so happy for you! i'm in the same dilema, i was supposed to lose 30 lbs before pregnancy, that was the goal, then i found out i was pregnant! when i went on vacation i weight 192 in a week a gained 4 lbs!! so that would be one of my main concerns. The other part of the doctor or the hospital, is tossed up, but what youo need to do is to talk to your family and friends that have had children recently and asked them what was their experience at the hospital where they went to, trust me it helps. Good luck!!

Im glad to see you back and well with baby :) How did the trip go? i see you didn't like the food again? do oyu think it was caz of feeling sick or just wasn't that great? I love your profile picture :) soo cute! do you have facebook maybe we can become friends there too if you want. As the weight part i was kinda a big girl too, but i lost weight like you did and it was all belly which was great. migh tbe the same for you too. as for the hospital if it were me, i'd stay around the city where it's 1.5 hrs away around my due date. but it's up to you. i gotta go erics gotta get ready to play outside lol take care hun
