My Doctors Appointment on Friday

i think that i was so annoyed with frankies dad and with everything else that was going on, that i didnt write anything about the doctors appointment that i had last friday with the nurse practioner. we heard the babys heartbeat, and she said that everything sounded good, and she asked if i felt it when the baby moves. and i said that some days i felt it a lot, sometimes not really, and she said that was normal, and that it is never really predictable. which made me feel better, because that could have been something that i would be worrying about. like so far today i have felt a couple of taps and a squirm or two, but nothing major, but from what i seem to remember, and what has been told to me it is early to be feeling it that strongly anyway. (i think) i got scheduled for my ultrasound for the beginning of next month (in another 4 weeks) and then immediately after the ultrasound i see the nurse practioner for my visit too. i cant wait, my boyfriend is supposed to be taking the day off so that he can be there too. which lately he has been going to all of my visits at the doctors (my routine checkup visits). so while i was there on friday i had her check me because i was having the burning and itching symptoms, and she said that i definetly had a yeast infection, and prescribed a medicine to use for three days. so i used the medicine, as directed, and was still having the same issue, not as much the itching but really bad burning. burning when i peed, and really really really bad burning when me and my boyfriend had sex. the burning was sooo bad, it was horrible. i was crying because i was so frusrated with all of it. so because this was continuing and was so uncomfortable, i made an appointment yesterday afternoon for this morning, and went to see another nurse practioner in the office this morning. and she checked me said that she couldnt see any signs of the yeast infection still being there, and she took a slide and also said that she didnt see any bacterial infection either. so she said that most likely the medicine that i had been given for the yeast infection had irritated me and i had a reaction to it, and that because i am pregnant there wasnt anything that she could give me to counteract it, and she suggested that i use a & d diaper rash cream to soothe it and that should help. she said that if it didnt get better in a week, to see her again. i have to go to the pharmacy and buy the cream, i really hope that this helps, it is so uncomfortable. she said that it was red, so at least she could see that there was something going on, and that it wasnt just me, that made me feel a little bit better. she was also unsure of whether i was able to get the ultrasound at their office or if i would have to go to the hospital for it, but i checked with the billing at the checkout desk and they said that i was able to get two of them at their office with medicaid, and being that i have had none at their office so far, i can get it done their. which made me happy because i would much rather have it at their office. i was also told that i have to drink 32 ounces of water before i have it done, but the midwife said that i would be okay if i just started drinking when i got there to have the desk, that your bladder will fill up quick. the midwife that i saw today also lisitened to the babys heartbeat and said that the baby sounded good. when i was first going into to see the doctor, i was told that i had lost a pound since i was there about six days ago, but that it wasnt anything to worry about, because it is normal for weight to fluctuate. so okay, that is all i can think of to update on that subject, i really hope that this gets better soon, and also that i dont have to end up going back to the doctors office next week because of this. i am going to do what she said and hope that it helps. i have to leave soon and go to the pharmacy to buy the cream. the midwife was also recommending for me to use ky jelly when i wanted to have sex because she said that should help with the burning and also with friction that might be there too, because she was saying about pregnancy hormones and having dryness and all of that. so i lisitened to her and when i go to the pharmacy to get the cream i will also most likely pick that up too, but honestly what i am thinking right now is that how i feel right now and thinking about how i felt last time that we had sex which was only a few nights ago, i dont want to even think about sex at this moment. just thinking about is making me have a burning feeling.
