Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday I had a prenatal appointment. My last one was 4 weeks ago. I figured it would be uneventful. They checked my weight and blood pressure. My doctor was pretty concerned with my swelling but since my blood pressure is normal...nothing he can really do. He said all the same things....go swimming, soak in the bathtub for 30 minutes a day, blah, blah, blah. He said watching my sodium and drinking more water wouldn't really matter...to be honest. He said the best thing is to lay on my left side as much as possible...to just get more rest. He said that with this amount of swelling the compression stockings would be almost impossible to get on. Than he did the group b test and checked to see if anything was going on. Nope...nada. I pretty much knew that. Baby is somewhat engaged but that is it. I go back in 10 days...thank goodness not in a week...I don't mind waiting longer...especially since I doubt anything will be happening in the meantime.
