Had my appointment this morning and got some good news and some not so good news. The good news is she is head down and will unlikely turn breech. I asked the doctor is he could tell that I had dropped and he did some palpations on my lower pelvic area and said that he felt her head way low meaning she's dropped into the pelvis. Yeah! With Jackson he dropped at 36 weeks and was born two weeks later! Hopefully she stays in there a little longer than two more weeks! 34 weeks is still too early! :-)
I mentioned that a couple of days ago that I got out of breath and my heart was racing while I was just sitting at the kitchen table. I told him I had noticed being out of breath when doing something like walking or vacuuming but not just sitting there. This isn't the first time it has happened either. He was concerned and made me do blood work to see if it was my thyroid. He told me if it happened again that I needed to call him immediately and he would send me to a cardiologist. He said it could be supraventricular tachycardia. He said it can happen during pregnancy and some women have it even before pregnancy. He told me not to worry, it in no way affects the baby. The most that would happen is that I would have to wear a heart monitor and be on some medication. Hopefully this isn't the case and everything will be fine. I'll keep everyone updated on this but no worries!
That's all for now.
