When arriving at Athens OB-GYN P.C to visit with Dr. Ruth Cline on a Monday morning I signed in at the front desk and had to fill out some forms because of my insurance. After filling out those papers I sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes and waited for a nurse to come and get me.

My name was called by a nurse named Keasha and she took me back and got weight, blood pressure, an urine sample, and then took some blood. After receiving all that information I remained waiting on a bench until a room became available.

When I was finally called back to the room, I was told everything with my test came back normal except with hemoglobin, there was protein in my urine, and that I had dropped a good bit of weight since my prioir visit. The nurse left and I continued waiting on Dr. Cline to come in and give me following information.

About 5 mintues later Dr. Cline came into the room and asked me a bunch of questions dealing with my pregnancy. She was concerned with the amount of weight loss and told me that I would be put on a depression pill which could possibly help, but if it gave me weird side affects to give her a call and she would either prescribe something else or just take me off of it.

I then proceeded to ask her questions concerning with my pregnancy. Like why I was having so much pressure and was there anything that i needed to worry about because of my weight loss. She told me that the pressure was possibly coming from the baby, because she had already turned around and her head was extremely low but if the pressure got worse later on to call her and let her know. Dr. Cline also said that the weight issue should be taken care of when i started taking to anti-depressant pills but if it got worse then like before call her and let her know.

Because of the protein in my urine I was told to stay after leaving out of my room, because they wanted to get another sample and run test of it. Dr. Cline was concerned it might be some type of infection and just wanted to be on the safe side.
