My doc must think I am psycho...

So at my appt on Wed I talked to the doc about all of these weird symptoms.  I told him I had right side pains with DD, but I never got dx with anything (they didn't have me take a pee test to check for urine and then the midwife told me the pain on my R side was heartburn, all this after she noted my swelling and huge amount of weight gain).  I mentioned something about having DD at 38 weeks and the OB (at my appt on Wed) kinda said he thought I was term with her....uh, no...I even put it on the paperwork that I filled out for him a few months ago that I had DD at 38 weeks.  So now I wonder if I will be on weekly appts or if my appt on the 16th will show no protein and then he will want to see me again in 2 weeks?  I guess I will have to wait, unless things get worse after this weekend...

There was a definite question as to when my EDD was with DD as I had an u/s at 8 or 9 weeks but the machine was crappy and they couldn't do measurements (we were overseas with the military = crappy equipment), so they said I was about 8-9 weeks based on size and when my cycle started.  THEN at my 20 week u/s (I was 23 weeks) they told me that she was measuring 20 weeks...they changed my EDD from June 16th to July 8th.  DH and I about died...adding another 3 weeks on to my pregnancy?  Craziness.  Ok, I gave them a week...as we all know O date and implantation can differ by days...

So when I went in to have DD I was guestimating that I was about 41 weeks, but I was 38 to them (military).  So when DD came out at over 8lbs of course they thought there were things wrong...LOL.  She was fine. 

Anyway, the OB this time around has given me much better care.  I hated him for so long (as I was having issues proving to him that I was infertile before DD and he didn't believe that I was suffering from SIF), but you know what?  Now I really really like the guy.
