Prenatal Care

So I'll be actually delivering at Tripler, but all of my prenatal care is right here on base at the OB clinic. I think it's a great set up. As long as you are not deemed high risk, you can be seen there. Otherwise, you have to go to Tripler for everything.

Anyway, the OB clinic is run by several nurse practitioners and they have doctors who come in on occasion. All of my appointments have been nice and quick, and on time even! Everyone who works there seems to be really friendly. Well, except the lady who schedules the appointments. She always seems perturbed about something, but whatever. 

My favorite part, though, is that I don't have to give urine samples at every appointment. lol Trivial, but as your pregnancy goes on, it gets increasingly more difficult to complete that task. That last month, too, when you go in every week, it becomes absolutely ridiculous.  

My next appointment is in a few weeks, for the oh-so fun glucose test. And I imagine I'll be moving up to bi-weekly appointments here within the next month, too.

Moving right along!!
