January & February Prenatal Visits

On January 19, 2011 we had our monthly prenatal visit with Dr. Endo. We underwent all the usual screening: weight check, fundal height and heartbeat. Dr. Endo explained that we would return in two weeks to start our weekly visits. This milestone in our pregnancy indicates that we are very close to labor, delivery and meeting our little girl.

February 3rd we met with Dr. Koe. At this appointment we reviewed our labor and delivery plan. Dr. Koe asked our feelings toward pain medication and explained the actions we should take when we feel that April has gone into labor. We decided not to go with a full-fledged birth plan as we are fully aware that we need to be flexible with the possibility of anything happening. Ultimately our goal is to have a healthy baby - whatever that may involve.

Our next appointment is February 10th with Dr. Noessen which marks exactly one month (to the date) of our due date.

With the due date quickly approaching April is finding that sleep is becoming increasingly more disturbed throughout the night. She is also spending most of her time at home!
