I just got back from my 32-week doctor's appointment. It was a routine check up and at the same time, the doctor did an internal exam to make sure I am not dilated yet and I am still okay to travel to Aruba. Well, I am happy to say I am not dilated at all which means, I am safe to travel! :-). Yipee! She did mention that I should drink a lot of water before and during the flight to prevent swelling. I have not had any swelling during this pregnancy (knock on wood) so I am crossing my fingers that I won't have any problems.
As for my stats, my blood pressure is still normal and I gained 1.5 lbs since the last appointment which is 2 weeks ago (not sure how accurate this is since my own weekly check- in says I gained 1.5 lbs each week?!). My fundal height is right on track. I am 32 weeks along and it measured 30 cms. The doc said it's still within the normal range. I am petite so for my built, the fundal height on the lower side is normal.
My next appointment is in 2 weeks. I am going to start seeing the two other doctors in the practice so I can get to know them before my due date. There is a chance that my doctor will not be on-call when I go on labor so it is best to meet the other doctors now than be surprised who will show up in the delivery room later.
