Prenatal Visit 2

Today was my second prenatal visit.  This was the easiest OB/GYN visit for me ever!  I got to the office and signed in and they let me back to do my urine sample.  Then, I waited in the waiting room for a few minutes.  Once I was called in I was weighed (no weight gain yet).  Then the nurse took me to a room and took my blood pressure (normal).  Next, she very briefly let me hear the babies heartbeat (156 bpm = normal).  She asked me about any symptoms or concerns I was having and said the doctor would be in in a minute.  I was thinking "no stripping down? no stirrups? yay!"  Then my Dr. came in and briefly went over my bloodwork results and asked if I had any questions.  I told him I was a little worried because I was having issues trying to eat meat and vegetables.  He said not to worry about that at this point.  Over the next few weeks the nausea should go away (I know this isn't the case for everyone) and I should start feeling a lot better.  He said as I start feeling better I can slowly start trying to eat healthier then, but that eating the healthiest doesn't have to be my main concern at the moment.  He said that some people just crave or can only get down comfort foods during their first trimester and that that's ok.  :o)  So, I'm actually doing better than I thought.  He also let me know that the initial results from my nuchal scan show no increased risks for the baby.  Another yay!  He told me to go ahead and schedule my next ultrasound for 6 weeks out before I leave.  And that was it!  I scheduled the ultrasound and left the office.  So nice.  I hope everyone's second visit is this nice.
