Clinic day #13: paid in full
Wow, was this clinic day ever a doozy. Nothing too much to report, just appointment after appointment after appointment. Two even cancelled, and it was still a long day.
Things went well though. My gestational diabetic is keeping her blood sugars so well controlled that the high risk clinic doesn't even want to see her again (unless that changes). My other slightly complicated lady seems to be doing well, with a follow up appointment with the high risk clinic - the word is still out on whether I'll be delivering her or not. I did an intake for an intelligent woman that will be a VBAC (though she has already had one vag birth), perhaps at home. The going thing seems to be that EVERYBODY is measuring small for dates. So I'm ordering gobs of ultrasounds.
I did a nice deep stretch and sweep for my lady that was due yesterday (this is basically a vaginal exam where I stretch the cervix with my fingers and separate the amniotic sac from the uterus. It often causes cramping, and throws some women into labour). I hope I hear from her tonight or tomorrow.
