ROPL

Today I saw my OB for my monthly appointment. Our First Trimester Screening was at a specialists' office, so although it just happened Friday I still had to see my OB today. I wasn't sure if we'd do an ultrasound. When I was pregnant with my son we had a lot of appointments and ultrasounds at every one of them until about 22 weeks or more. Today I realized I'm considered just a ROPL. Regular 'Ol Pregnant Lady that is. No ultrasound, just a listen with the Doppler. Since I have a Doppler at home and check every few days the appointment seemed kind of silly, but that's ok I guess. Baby sounds great in there. Despite eating at every possible second I've only gained a pound. The old uterus is pressing on my nerve in my groin-thigh area and causing some pinched nerve feelings. My doc assured me it will only get worse as Baby and belly continue to expand. :-) It is not too painful yet so hoping it doesn't escalate. My doc is going on vacation next month so it will be 5 weeks until our next appointment.
