My visits with this man have been nothing but boring as FUCK. He doesn’t do u/s at every visit like my old doc but at least he’s easy going and is going to let me attempt a VBAC.

However my visit yesterday was full to new things.. but not exactly surprises. I took my 1 hour glucose test and they drew blood. I won’t know until tomorrow at the earliest whether or not I passed it. Then I pushed the subject of a level 2 u/s which they don’t do unless they think there’s a problem. Well, my last doc did them on all his patients and it was nice to know everything was OK. I had 2 with J, zero with this baby. So I told him that it was bothering me that I wasn’t getting one and he agreed and ordered one for me. What a great guy! LOL! Then the scary part. I told the nurse that I almost passed out on friday.

Basically D and I dropped J at daycare that morning, went to denny’s and stuffed our faces then went to Target. we were just walking up and down the isles looking for bedding, pillows, and such. We were almost done but I had to stop to look at house plants. All of a sudden I got really tired and decided to lean against the shelves in the isle I was in. There was no where to sit down. I was just looking ahead of me at the plants when I could tell something wasn’t right. (keep in mind i never passed out or came close to it in my entire life so this was sooo alien to me) The room was moving a little, then my vision started to black out. I had tunnel vision. Dennis was in the other isle so I called him over. Told him I thought I was going to pass out or something. Then all of a sudden I couldn’t hear anything. It sounded like I had really thick ear muffs on or like I was underwater. I just stood there waiting to see what else was going to happen. Thankfully I never lost conciousness and never fell to the ground or anything. But I felt like my brain was shutting down. LOL. After about 2 minutes, things slowly started to come back and normalize. After I was good again, we just left. That was sooo weird.

So back to the ob appt. I told the nurse about it, then the doc started asking me questions like did I ever get heart palpitations. I said all the time and that I have been getting a pain in the middle of my chest sometimes when i get them (that pain only started after i got pregnant). Have I ever had a heart problem? I said only one time when I was 14 or 15 a doc told my parents she thought I did. we all thought she was a quack so we never payed her any mind. So now he wants me to see a cardiologist to check me out. I’m glad I’m going, but I still think there’s nothing wrong with me there. we’ll see.
