Happy Tuesday! I hope that you all had a great weekend!! Roll Tide!! They did great!!
Well my next doctor's appointment was not scheduled until tomorrow (Wednesday, October 7); however, due to some complications for mommy here we had to go in early and see the doctor yesterday. First let me say that the baby is great!! I am now 11 weeks 4 days and they ultrasounds was amazing! The baby even rolled over for us (show off) it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I am so excited and anxious for the next 6 months to come and go so I can meet my little man or lady!!!
So the reason I had to go to the doctor yesterday. Well Sunday I woke up and everything seemed just fine. My mom had come over around 11:00 to help me clean house (yes, I have the best mom ever). Well why she was there I went to the bathroom and I could not go (urinate that is). So I went and told my mom who said maybe it was just how the baby was positioned or something and maybe I really did not have to go it just felt like it. Well I waited and kept feeling like I needed to go to the point were I was getting uncomfortable so I tried again and still could not go. At this point I was getting nervous because I was starting to hurt because I had to go so bad. Well I decided around 1:30 or so to call the doctor as I have not been to the bathroom since 9:30 and did not want to get in any worse shape. They directed me to take a warm bath and if that did not help then to go to the ER. Well needless to say that did not help so Chad took me into the ER. Which is very scary place right now with the
Swine Flu. Well the
good news is, I did not have to wait once we got there and they took me straight back to a room and had to put in a catheter. Not pleasant at all, but it felt so much better not to have to go to the bathroom. Well they tested my output and they said that I had very clean urine and it was not an infection that had caused this. They only thing the doctor in the ER could guess is that my
Urethra had closed (which this happened to me before when I was younger). So he said to go home with the catheter and to call a specialist Monday and go in and talk about it and have them take it out.
Well you know me and being pregnant, first thing Monday morning I called my OB. They had me come straight in and see the on call doctor (Dr. Davis, I really liked her). Well they did an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay with the baby and everything was perfect. The
heartbeat was 165 and the baby looked great! So that is the good news. She called a specialist for us to see what we should do and he said that he feels like this is a fluke event that has nothing to do with being pregnant and that once we remove the catheter everything could be just fine. So they instructed me to take the catheter out myself last night before bed so that why if I woke up this morning and could not go to the bathroom then I had a problem still and would have to go back to the doctor. Well good news...... I woke up in the middle of the night and went to the potty!! It was just an answered prayer. So needless to say all is well for now and maybe I will not have to deal with this problem again!
Well I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks and then the big one will be scheduled for November 23rd!! I am so super excited about this one of course!!
Well I hope that you are all having a good day and have a great week!
They are in order from left to right top first and then bottom. So the Alabama outfit is today! 15 Weeks!!
