We had our dating ultrasound and general health check up for me December 13th. Vitals were done then the oh so favorite "girl testing" was done, then got a transvaginal ultrasound (not the most comfortable thing to have done) to see how the baby was doing.
Seeing the baby on that screen for the first time was amazing. Babies heartbeat was strong at 166 bpm and measured right on date and was assigned the due date of July 10th 2011.
The doctor went over some basic stuff with us, prescribed my prenatals and diagnosed me with chronic hypertension. Yes you saw right. According to their records, my BP has been high almost every time I've gone to the doctor since my military health record started back in 2007. Here at Naval Hospital Guam, you are assigned to Family Practice if you do not have any medical conditions that could cause problems during pregnancy, if you do have any problems then you are sent to OBGYN and have every appointment there. So with being diagnosed with Chronic Hypertension I was sent to OBGYN, which I supposed I look at it as a good thing because I feel like at OBGYN they know a little more about pregnancy than general practitioners and that makes me feel safer during this 9 months journey.
I was told that due to the Chronic Hypertension I would not go past 39 weeks, which just so happens to be right around July 4th :)
Heres my little tiny bump at 10+1 weeks
I had my OB appointment 4 days after my Family Practice appointment and got to have 2 ultrasounds in one week. Baby was 10+5 weeks and moving all around.
