OB Check Up
February 21st, 2007 at 7:14 pm (Pregnancy)
Went to the Obstetrician today for a check up. He confirmed that the amnio results were all normal. I asked him what they actually tested for. They tested 24 cells, retrieved from the amniotic fluid they took from me, and grew them and looked at all the chromosomes of each cell. So that was comforting.
I hopped up on the bed and he listened to Christopher’s heart (a nice strong regular heartbeat was heard) and checked my blood pressure, which has been a a constant 120/80 which is great.
I also asked who Chris’ paediatrician would be, and although my OB was unable to tell me, he did say that it was very likely to Level 3 Registrar at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, where I will give birth. More info to come on the neonatal unit.
I also now have to see the OB every fortnight and then weekly from the beginning of May until Chris is born at 38 weeks.
