OB appointment

Today I had a regular OB appointment and it went well. I gained 3 pounds since last time, my blood pressure's good and the baby's heartbeat is very good! My doctor is pleased with how things are going and just reminded me that I should continue to watch my weight gain. I'm measuring where I'm supposed to be so that's good. My doctor said the baby's head is down after feeling around my tummy. So those jabs I've been feeling in my lower abdomen are her fists! At the next appointment in March I'll have a Group B Strep test done. Babies can pick up an infection from the mother as they travel down the birth canal if she's a carrier. There are no symptoms for the mother for Group B Strep so unless you actually test for it, you won't know you're a carrier. At the next appointment I'll also have a sonogram so I can't wait to see the baby!
