This Pregnancy....

is going to be sooo much more than my DD. This is pregnancy number 4, the last 2 were miscarriages. So we switched from a military hospital to a regular doctor and I have so much less stress on my shoulders, in a sense. My doctor discovered that my incision grew onto my pelvic wall after my csection with DD. That puts me at a higher risk if I had a VBAC, so I will be having another csection. With this one though I can schedule it for up to 10 days before my due date, which is April 26th. Also since DD was 9 lbs 9 ounces he is going to do 2 diabetes test, an early one at 20 weeks and the regular one at 28 weeks. He is also running ALL these tests to make sure that everything is okay or might have played a part in my miscarriages and to keep an eye on this pregnancy. I had 20 vials of blood taken (5 large, 6 small, and 8 medium) and I almost passed out from that. It was worse than when I gave blood in High school. I know that I would not get any of this at the military hospital and I so much more at ease. I go back in 2 weeks for HCG and another ultrasound. But right now everything looks perfect and healthy and I am so happy about that.
