I attended a prenatal yoga class on Tuesday and am definitely less flexible than before! Since my belly is bigger and rounder, it is difficult to do some of the poses perfectly. I'm glad this session focused more on relaxation and stretching. Breathing is also very important in yoga and hoo boy, is harder to get a deep breath in class. There was a woman there on Tuesday who was at 41 and a half weeks - very overdue! Her doctor was planning on inducing this weekend if she hadn't made any progress by then. We all felt really sorry for her - she looked SO ready to have the baby.
A coworker of mine has a daughter who is a couple weeks ahead of me, pregnancy-wise. She was saying her daughter has to have an ultrasound almost every week due to gestational diabetes, placenta previa, AND preeclampsia (high blood pressure). I heard that and thanked my lucky stars that my pregnancy complaints are fairly mild in relation to hers.
Met with a pediatric practice today to check out some docs for our little peanut. The office is here on my workplace campus and I absolutely love the place! The front office staff was very pleasant, the nurse practitioner I saw at the beginning of my appointment was great and then the two physicians were wonderful as well. Our big problem is which one to pick! I'll talk it over with D and see what he thinks. Both of the docs have many years of experience. One has a radio show on our local NPR station and is an expert in pediatric allergy and immunology issues, while the other has a special interest in hearing problems for kids.
