My Obstetrics doctor's appointment (Oct.5,2011)

Today I went to see my OB Dr.Bhangu for the regular once-a-month check up. As usual, first did a simple urine test(with a testing indicate paper stick) to see any sugar in the urine, then waited in the small office to be called. The office usually is packed with patients. Mostly pregnent women.

 

My name was called by the nurse. She weighed me, 51.5kgs, almost 11 kgs so far I have gained.Then went into the clinic room to wait for Dr. Bhangu. Not that long, he came in, checked my blood pressure, asked me to lie down on the checking bed, measured my stomach to see the size of the uterus,then put some gels on my belly, used a scope to hear the fetus'heart beats, was good, strong and regular heart beats. He said "Good", then checked his computer to see my blood work result from last time, told me that my insulin level is good, but my hemoglobin is low.

 

He told me I need to take iron pill once a day. I don't want iron pill since I know it will cause conspitation. I asked him, Can I just increase intake of food that have plenty of iron? He said yes, you may, eat more red meat , spinach etc then.

 

So far, the check up was done. He told me come again in two weeks. He said from now on, I need to see him every two weeks.

 

Thanked for him, I left the room, booked next appointment with the nurse which is on Oct.19.

 

On the way back home, I think about the E-excel products I am always taking, one of the new products called Vegaplex has plenty of iron and B12, it will be perfact for me. Yes, I will order this new product and add to my daily nutritional supplements. I think I will be fine with this natural supplement and from the food.

 

Hope I am going to have a healthy baby.
