Today was my monthly check up with the doctor. My work schedule has been so crazy that I couldn't book my normal "first thing in the morning appointment" and thought that I could sneak in an end of day appointment. I arrived promptly at my scheduled 4pm appointment in the waiting room full of other pregnant Moms to be and waited patiently for 40 minutes before they office girls called me up and told me the doctor was running about an hour and a half late and if I wanted to see the nurse practitioner--I quickly remembered why I liked scheduling my appointments first thing in the morning. Needless to say I read alot of magazines in the waiting room today including the December issue of Pregnancy and Newborn. I have to admit, being this the 2nd time around, I haven't read nearly as many pregnancy books, blogs, or magazines, but think that I better get up to date as there are alot of new products on the market as I learned from my reading today.
First up was the Milk-Saver found appropriately on
http://www.mymilkies.com/.
The milk-saver is easy to use; simply slip into your bra-cup on the non-nursing side before you breastfeed. The milk-saver collects the breast milk that is leaked out when your milk lets down. You can store this milk and save it for any time its needed. The milk-saver makes breastfeeding easy. The patented slim design makes the milk-saver nearly imperceptible when worn. A stylish and durable case keeps your milk-saver safe and clean when you're on the go.
Next was a must have: The Kush from
http://www.kushsupport.com/.
Now this product is not just for new moms--it is for anyone who needs sleep support for their breasts. It is made from a lightweight plastic with a slip-resistant outer coating, Kush is uniquely designed to fit between the breasts to maintain a more natural shape while resting on your side. No straps, no underwires, no constraints, no adhesives and no garments needed - the slip-resistant surface and contoured shape help keep Kush in place as a woman rolls from one side to the other during sleep.
Last is the newborn navel protector found at
http://www.jujuband.com/. It helps aid in giving your baby the perfect "innie" all for under 20 bucks.
As for the rest of my doctor's visit: Every thing is great, I've gained about 19 pounds, my urine is clear (well it is yellow, but I'm assuming they meant "medically clear of any strange things that shouldn't be there), and my blood pressure is good. I go back in January to take the glucose test for gestational diabetes and we are doing the 3D/4D ultrasound.
