We met my nurse midwife this morning, and I think I will like her. She reminds me a bit of Pete's mom, but she's taller and a brunette. And a nurse midwife. We went over my history, and I filled out a questionnaire that was very similar to the one I had to answer on the phone. I wonder where all that information went... It was a short appointment, and I did not have to take my pants off, which was kind of nice. I told Pete he can come to all the appointments, and he's welcome to look at my cervix if he wants to. I don't remember what his reaction was. After we left, I had numerous little tubes of blood taken out of my left arm, and I peed in a cup, which is always fun and never messy. Not at all. I couldn't pee on a stick without mess, how do you think I do with a cup? Yeah. Not so well.
One nice thing about my insurance company is that they have an online system called "MyChart," so I get emails whenever a new test is up, and they have been coming in all day. I get them, try to figure them out, and then send them to my mom because she's a nurse. Have I mentioned that?
This is what they did:
02/04/2008 CYSTIC FIBROSIS SCREEN
02/04/2008 HIV 1/2 ANTIBODY
02/04/2008 LEAD
02/04/2008 HEMOGRAM/PLTS
02/04/2008 HBSAG (HEPATITIS B SURFACE AG)
02/04/2008 RPR (SYPHYLIS SCREEN)
02/04/2008 ABO RH & ANTIBODY SCREEN
02/04/2008 UA, NO MICROSCOPIC
02/04/2008 URINE CULTURE
02/04/2008 RUBELLA IMMUNE STATUS
02/04/2008 VACCINATION SCREEN (ANTI-HBS)
All of the results are good. Oh, and I weigh 152 (yikes), and my BP was 110/68.
That's nice, but the real tests will come on the 18th when we go in for the ultrasound and initial screening.
