Today's OB Visit...

Had my OB appointment today, 24w4d, and all is well. Heartbeat is 154 and he is very active. I am measure closer to 26 weeks, but doc wasn't worried. I have an ultrasound on December 22nd to check on low lying placenta and they will measure him then. My blood pressure is good, 100/60 and I have gained a whopping 1 pound since my last visit for a total of 6 pounds. OB says it's a little low, but since baby is measuring good and heart rate is good, then it is nothing to worry about. :)

The only reason I am getting more than one is because I had a low lying placenta and they wanted to keep an eye on it to make sure it moved up. I am getting one more at 36 weeks because they found a cyst on my ovary and want to watch that too...I was in the same boat as you with my first, only had one at around 20 weeks.

Thats lucky you still get more ultrasounds! My last one was Dec.4th & I wont get another unless something is wrong or Im overdue! Do you get one every time you go to the OB?

I'm glad to hear your appointment went well!  Like you and sunkissed, I feel like I'm on the small end as well. I've actually lost 3 pounds since my 12 week appointment. My OB said since the baby is on track, I should be fine.  I figure it just gives me room to gain even more later on! LOL
