I had an appointment with my regular OB today, Dr. Buckson. From my previous posts you know that I find this woman's sense of humor refreshing and relaxing. Today, she asked me if I had any religious beliefs that would interfere with her giving me a transfusion should I lose too much blood during delivery. I told her, "No" then while she was making note of it in my chart, I said, "I fully expect you to save my life... how is that for pressure?" She smiled and said, "I have never lost one yet, I have no problem pumping you full of blood and yankin' out your uterus to save your life, cuz I don't play!" My response… "Good!"
The outcome of the appointment other than establishing that I would gladly accept an transfusion - My due date has been officially changed to September 16th - my Uncle Harry's birthday! That makes me 10 weeks.
I go back to the high risk doctor next Friday - I will have another ultrasound to post after that visit. Say a prayer for us that the baby's heart and spine are developing normally - those are the 2 major issues for diabetic mothers.
