We went to visit the midwife on July 23, my husband came with me this time. I have to say I really appreciate having a midwife. We spent about 45 minutes in the office asking questions and the likes. The last visit I was at my midwife had given me a sheet to fill out with my diet, and two questionnaires to fill out to screen for postpartum depression and to find out how I was feeling about being pregnant. It was neat, because you can tell that they care about how I'm doing and want to help me travel through this adventure that is pregnancy. The midwife I saw on this visit went over what I had written and asked me questions about some of the items I had filled out. We also discussed questions that I had, such as whether I could take metamucil (as mentioned from my previous entry).
It was really nice to have my husband there, because I think it was a great experience for him to learn a bit more about what I am going through and how he can support me.
The best part was hearing the baby heartbeat.....it was the first time we'd heard it. It was VERY exciting, my husband said it made it much more real for him. To hear a heartbeat and really know that there is something there inside my belly growing. It was pretty neat. It definitely made it more real for me, even though I'm starting to feel my tummy growing and my pelvis is shifting around more, hearing a heartbeat is really neat. The heartbeat was ~140. So right smack in the middle. :)
My blood pressure by the way was 90/60. Probably why I've been lightheaded lately. Ha
