I had my appointment today and the baby is right on track. I like getting to see the little peanut every two weeks! The heartbeat was strongat 150 BPM, and the baby was quite quiet. I think he'she was sleeping this time, but the hand was right up by the mouth. Hmmm.. a thumb sucker?
I am happy to report I have gained 5 pounds! I am still under prepregnancy weight, but this is the first weight gain all pregnancy long. I couldn't be happier! The nurse and Dr. were quite pleased with my progress. They did a blood test because I may be anemic. I'm not sure how we will fix that if I am. More roast beef from Arbys? I could handle that.
On a more unsettling note, I got a call before my appointment from our insurance company asking me all these crazy personal questions about my treatment and pregnancy. I think they are going to try and deny coverage for Home Health. I talked to the Dr. about all of it and he gave me some good advice. Maybe they are just filling out paperwork, but maybe we need to get ready to fight a battle with our insurance company. I hope it's just the paperwork. They were asking questions about my previous pregnancies too, which has nothing to do with the care I need for THIS pregnancy. GRRRRR. The Dr. is on my side, he wouldn't have had me go on Home Health if I didn't need it. I'm trying not to get worked up about it, but it really makes me mad. Maybe they would prefer covering mutliple hospital visits and trips to the ER. Or maybe they would like to cover the costs of a baby in instensive care because they decided I didn't need fluids and medications because it was just morning sickness. I guess it would be better for them if my kidney's started to fail. I bet they would like to cover that cost! OK... I'm done.
