In four days I will have my six week post partum appointment.
Yeah, they do that. They have follow up appointments for the mom.
I'm really excited about this appointment. Actually, not so much the appointment, itself. Who knows what kind of checking and prodding they'll do.
What I'm excited about is after.
At this appointment I should get the go ahead for two things.
-to start exercising again
-to get my eyes tested
Last year on January 11th I started the Couch to 5K running program and completed it sometime in March/April. Shortly thereafter, for a couple of reasons, I stopped running. I plan to start it up again as soon as I get my doctor's permission.
Doctors seem to have different opinions on this: eye changes (at least my OB and my eye doctor had differing opinions). My OB said that while I'm pregnant, my eyes may change temporarily so it's not a good time to get them checked. My eye doctor didn't seem as concerned.
Unfortunately, while pregnant, I ran out of contacts and couldn't order more because my prescription was too old. And I went with my OB's opinion of not get tested until later.
For the last two months or so I've been wearing glasses and as the end draws near, I am very, very ready to be back in contacts.
And then I'll post pictures of what I look like. :)
