Yesterday I collected my urine and had to take it in this morning. I must say doing 24 hr urines in one of the grossest things. I had to do 3 last pregnancy and pray that I won't develop pre-eclampsia this time and won't have to do anymore, though I know that is a long shot.
The one thing that collecting my urine for a day teaches me though is I really don't drink enough. I was getting worried that I only produced like 350 ml throughout the whole day yesterday. I did do 500 over night so that helped, but it is still on the low end, but at least it isn't decreased output. Really worried there may be something wrong with my kidneys, though it may just be I am not drinking enough. It is very hard during the day with dd since she will constantly spill my drinks and wreck things so I have to keep my cup on top of the fridge and really don't feel like always having to get up and go in there to drink.
I brought a bp machine yesterday. I haven't started using it yet since I just had my pressure done on Monday, but will probably start using it when I turn 12 weeks. I figure this is the least I can do since I have to wait 4 weeks to be checked again - something I am still not happy about.
The hospital called this morning when I was out to confirm appts. DH picked up which I was surprised, but then he never wrote down the message and all he said is I had an appt on Tuesday, in September, and then in October. I know about the first two, but not October. I was very annoyed with dh that if he is going to answer the phone at least write down the message or remember it and not assume I will know. So then I had to call the hospital and try and find out who made the call. Turns out they booked an u/s for October 10. Not quite sure what for, guessing this is the anatomy scan. I am kind of annoyed about this since I would be 18 weeks then, and I really would have liked to have a growth scan at 16 weeks and then the anatomy at 20 weeks. The way they have it will create a 6 week gap between scans and last pregnancy I had a 7 week gap between NT scan and anatomy scan and this is when we found out ds growth had stopped 3 weeks before. I don't want to have the same thing happen again. Anyways, I am not going to do anything about it right now since this date and scan may change since my insurance will be different and they thought I would still be on the Harvard Pilgrim so now I have to wait and see what will happen and when I will lose the HP. I do plan on asking the doctor on the 17th for a scan to check on growth before the end of September and I am not going to take no for an answer. Seriously I can't lose this baby especially for something stupid like this with doctors not taking my concerns seriously. No wonder ob's are the highest sued doctors.
