Our doctor's appointments are every two weeks now. Today our doctor was not available due to a delivery, so we had our apointment with a nurse practitioner. Prior to meeting with her, though, we did some of the basic checks with the nurse - weight, blood pressure and urinalysis. I am still continuing to have bloating problems and gained 5 pounds in two weeks. At first, the blood pressure was highly elevated, which concerned us because of the discussion with the doctor at the last appointment regarding preeclampsia. I asked the nurse to take it again and it came out okay. Phew! The urinalysis was also okay.
The nurse practitioner gave me a perscription for some medicine to help with the severe heartburn that I have been experiencing the past few months. Of course, as with all of these visits, the best part was hearing his heartbeat - loud, fast and clear.
