When arriving at the OB-GYN office to see Dr. Cline I walked in and went directly to the sign-in desk and then waited until I was called back. During the 7 minute wait in the lobby I was asked the same question ask always had my insurance changed and i replied no. The nurse assistant KeKe called me back. She ran the same four test as always, blood pressure, blood, urine, and weight. After she collected all her data she asked me to wait on the bench until a room became available.

About five minutes later they came and took me to a vacant room. I proceeded to wait about another five minutes until Dr. Cline entered the room. She asked how things had been going, and then gave me the results of the test that were previously given to me when I arrived.

When Dr. Cline pulled up my shirt to give me the heart monitor she noticed the rash that had formed from the top of my belly button to where my hip bones are. I asked Dr. Cline what was the rash and was there anything that I could do to help prevent it from getting worse. She informed us that the rash was known as the Pregnancy Rash or PAPS. It is normally bought on by stress and clears up normally right after giving birth. She then told me some methods that might help relieve the symptoms. Using Hydrocortisone cream, benadryl, and suggested taking an oatmel bath. All of which should help take care of the itching and burning.

Dr. Cline then wanted to check and see if everything was normal and checked to see if I was dilated any. After she checked she was happy to say I was dilated two centimeters and sixty percent effaced. I asked her what exactly did sixty percent effaced mean, and then she said it just meant that my cervics was thinning out.

After the everything she asked me did i have any further questions. I went on to ask her why I was having problems with my legs. Getting in and out of the bed, and more with why my legs would just give out at times. She said it was possiblely because the baby was already turned head down and se might have been laying on a nerve, which can cause a lot of pain and could even cause my legs to give out.

After that she gave me my appointment slip and told me to check up at the front desk and that was it. =]
