Well, I switched OBs, changed practices entirely to get into a high risk maternal and fetal health practice. New doc is *great.* He immediately questioned reducing the thyroid meds and said that we need to check that with among other things, a free T3 and a free T4. So, I feel like I am finally in good hands. He's going to do all my endocrine work for the rest of the pregnancy.

He also started me on metoclopramide b/c my BGs are harder to manage. They seem to go up 3-4 hours after a meal, after the short acting insulin has run out. He explained this could be because of a slow stomach from the pregnancy, and the new med should help. This is something my old Endo, who I say just three weeks ago, never even mentioned as a possibility.

I'm pretty angry about it too, as the baby has grown from being 3-4 days ahead in size to being over the 90th percentile I guess this is now about 10 days ahead in size. (On the positive side, the femur length is more ahead in growth than the tummy. Tall leggy girl like you, lol )

So, the new doc has already decided to deliver me a week early. Will have to see about C section, but I'll be getting regular ultrasounds to check growth.

It is soooooo good to be with a decent practice


Best,
Oldtimer
