Dr. Appointment May 2, 2011

The doctor's appointment went well today. We got to hear Frankie's heartbeat and the doctor said he sounds great. She decided that I should still be seen every 2 weeks to monitor for preeclampsia and preterm labor. She doesn't think this is going to happen but the chances are higher with the O. We also made a final decision to have a c-section. She thinks it's the best considering the situation. I am totally okay with this! That way it is scheduled and the pediatric surgeons can be there, just in case. Better safe than sorry! They will be doing ultrasounds once a month, maybe more to monitor his growth. They want to make sure he is growing at the correct rate. As of now, he still is. The times they do not do the ultrasound, they will measure my belly to make sure he is still growing. I should be getting another fetal heart echo within the next couple weeks and will be scheduling another meeting with the surgeons. Thanks for all your love and prayers!!!!
