Overall it went well. I haven't gained any weight since my last appointment, which doesn't concern my midwife. I am sitting at a current weight gain of about 26 pounds, and she is happy with that. I'm sure the scale will move a little for me next week anyway. ;)
My blood pressure decided to go up, which was so disappointing! My BP with Ian was higher than was desirable for several months, but this pregnancy hasn't been a problem at all. I've been right around the 115-120/70 mark for the entire time. Yesterday, however, it was 137/82, quite a bit higher than it's been. Again, my midwife isn't too worried. I didn't have an excessive weight gain between appointments (actually, I technically went DOWN .3), no swelling, no headaches or dizziness. So we'll be watching to see what it does over the next weeks until delivery, but hopefully it's nothing to worry about. If I have nausea, vomitting, dizziness, or headaches I'm to call L&D, though.
I opted out of my cervical check. I'd rather wait another week to give me more time to progress...I would have been so disappointed to hear that I was exactly the same as last week, which is silly. I KNOW it doesn't mean much...you can be zero and have your water break an hour later or be 4cm for weeks...but it's still fun to hear that things are moving in the right direction.
And for some good news: GBS swab was negative. Woo-hoo!
