High Risk OB Appt

So today I had my high risk OB consultation at St. Joe's hospital.  It went extremely well!  I met with Dr. Cootauco for about 45 minutes and we discussed pretty much everything tetralogy of fallot relating to pregnancy.  She thinks I should be able to have a normal pregnancy, which is exactly what Dr. Tatum (cardiologist at Children's) told me earlier this year.  She wants me to come back for a sonogram at 19 weeks and a fetal echocardiogram between 22-24 weeks.  She is also going to refer me to a cardiologist at St. Joe's so that someone at the hospital can be monitoring my heart as well.  They want me to have at least one echo in the middle of my pregnancy and another one near the end so they can track the changes of my heart during and after my pregnancy.  


After my appointment I contacted Children's to let them know I'm pregnant :) and see where they wanted to go from here.  It took about 5 transfers to get to the person I needed to talk to but we got it all figured out and Dr. Tatum is to call me to let me know the next step.  Today was another great day!  I am so thankful to be going through this experience and to have such great family, friends, and doctors helping me along the way!!!


And BTW...if you are reading this post PLEASE become a follower!  :)  I'm feeling a little lonely lol!!!  Thanks sis for being my first!!!  <3 you!
