Prenatal Visit 3

This visit was just as easy as the last.  I held it all morning to make sure I'd be able to leave my "sample."  (I guess I'm still a little traumatized from my first PN visit when I just couldn't go.)  I love that they just let you walk straight into the back and go as soon as soon as you sign in.  By the time I get to the office I'm practically doing the pee pee dance!  I got weighed (5 lbs gained so far).  Then, the nurse brought out the fetal doppler.  It was hard to get a reading because the baby was moving around so much.  It made me laugh.  The nurse said, "well at least we know the baby is active and moving about just fine."  Then she talked to me about doing the alpha fetoprotein test.  The doctor came in and asked if I had any questions and talked to me a little bit about the triple screening test.  Since the nuchal scan looked completely normal, I chose not to do the test.  And that was all.  Easy Peasy!  I got to go home.
