Went to the doc for my AFP blood work and Antibody check. Got there, gained another pound (this is getting ridiculous) and when she checked my BP it was a little high. She took my blood, checked again and it was even higher, then I explained to the sweet nurse that last pregnancy at 16 weeks we couldn't find the heart beat, she said "I remember, don't want to remember, but I do"
so she sent the doctor in (the actual doctor) and decided to check for the heartbeat.
Of couse she had a hard time finding it, and I had a hard time staying calm and then she says: "it would be easier to get the hart beat if this kid would stop kicking around"
at that same time I head a THUMP!, yup the crazy baby kicked the doppler, and then she was able to get a heart rate of 158......
I feel a little better, but won 't feel relieved till I can start feeling this baby move regularly, it's just too nerve wracking.
