The nausea persists, the fatigue persists, but I'm so excited
about this baby!!! We had our 16 week visit this week. I opted for having this
visit with one of the midwives in my practice rather than a physician. I was
curious to know the difference between being a midwife patient or an OBGYN
patient. Honestly, it felt like the difference is kind of small. But, still it
might be worth it. Basically, the midwives get to know their patients better,
and give them more one-on-one attention. Apparently, they also spend more time
with the laboring mother during birth, rather than showing up when the baby's
about to come out. I did feel like the nurse midwife was very thorough in
answering all my questions. It didn't feel like she was in a hurry. We discussed the benefits of having a doula. I'm seriously considering having one for support during labor.
We got to hear the
baby's heartbeat again. So fast! So beautiful! It was good for me. I still
can't feel the baby move, so sometimes I wonder if there's even a baby in
there. With all your symptoms, how in the world can you doubt it, you ask. I
know. It's weird. But, it was just reassuring to hear that beautiful sound.
Daddy went to
Hawaii for vacation for a little over a week. He'll get some family time and
some surfing time, too. It's a good thing, cause it'll be a while before he'll
be able to do that once the baby comes.
I'll try to have
belly pictures on my next post. : )
