29w5d - Dr's appointment

I had my doctor's appointment with the "brother" doctor yesterday. First, I passed my glucose test (YAHOO). There's one stressor off my back. The office was CRAZY busy. I think they have some office training this week so their appointments were limited and they had all 3 doctors in yesterday. There was a point when all the seats were taken and some people had to sit on the floor. It was cute though cuz all the husbands were offering their seats to the pregnant ladies.

So then we met the doctor. The appointment itself went great. Good weight gain - I think I only gained a pound or two. My belly measured right on. Heartbeat sounded good. Then we showed him our birth plan. Basically he said that my OB, Dr. S will approve it and then he will go along with it. He did look over it and didn't really have any objections. David thought he seemed kind of put off by the fact that I was going natural, but he didn't say anything about it. I also expressed my concern about her being breech. He did attempt to feel where she was and said he couldn't tell, which is weird since Dr. S always seems to be able to tell. But he said about 15% of babies are breech at 30 weeks and only 1-3% go on to be breech at birth. So my chances are good.

I also talked to my neighbor Julie and she made me feel better because I'm pretty sure she is flipping back and forth which makes me think she has the potential for being head down, she just needs to get there and stay there (and quit making Mommy a nervous wreck). I'm going to keep up with my pelvic rocks and hopefully things will work out.
