Unscheduled Doctor's Appointment

Well, yesterday did not go as expected.

I woke up, went to work and all was well. Until about 8:30am. I began having severe cramping right under my rib cage. The cramps were constant. I decided to leave work at about 10am...on my way home, I phoned the doctor. They told me to come in and the would work me in. I went by and picked up Justin from the house. After an hour waiting in the crowded lobby of the doctor's office, it was finally our turn.

First, they weighed me. I was 4lbs up from our last appointment 2 weeks ago. Blood pressure, still low, but fine.

Then, we go into the room and they pull out the Doppler to find Jack's heartbeat. It was very strong and approximately 150bpm. Everything was looking good.

Finally, the doctor comes in and starts the exam. He pulls out his tape measure. I measured 27 cm. WHAT!?!? At this stage of pregnancy, your uterus measurements are supposed to correlate with how many weeks pregnant you are. I am only 21.5 weeks pregnant. At my last appointment., 2 weeks ago, I measured right on track at 20 weeks. Now I am measuring 27 weeks?! That combined with my weight gain of 4lbs in two weeks, needless to say that Jack and I have gone through a major growth spurt. The doctor said that I was having major growing pains and told me to go home and rest.

We have our regularly scheduled appointment in 2 weeks. The doctor wants to see what I measure at that point.

So, everything with Jack and I are fine. Justin keeps teasing me that it's possible that he was the runt of his birth family. I keep reminding him that it is not helpful to share that kind of information and to keep his mouth firmly shut. :)
