My First OB Appointment

I met with my OB's office today and a very nice doctor there. We spoke about my fluid pocket and he really did not seem concerned. He said they see these frequently and isn't really worried. He asked that I schedule an ultrasound with their office this week, so I'll be going in on Thursday at 12:15pm for that (instead of going to my specialist's office). He said, from there, he would recommend coming back in 4 weeks unless something happens where I begin bleeding a lot, have cramping, etc. He said it's good that I'm not bleeding and that the baby's growth and size isn't being affected by the fluid area. He also said that I should stop taking baby aspirin (I had started taking this back in June to help me get pregnant)...as the baby aspirin has the opposite affect of what's needed for this. So, I will be stopping that right away and hopefully that will help us see a positive difference by the ultrasound on Thursday. I am also going to try and see my acupuncturist, as there are some "stop bleeding" treatments that he can do that will also hopefully help all of this.

So, I am going to try and follow my doctors lead and not be overly worried! He reiterated that I need to take things easy, so I will be doing that as much as possible too. I am just praying that the ultrasound on Thursday shows that things are heading in the right direction (pocket is smaller and baby is still growing as he/she should be).

Thank you all for your prayers, love and support! I am praying we have great news to share with you on Thursday!

Love you!
Nile & David
