Went back to the midwife to have my ears checked. I felt horrible this morning so I suspected they were worse. This was confirmed by her and she sent me to a regular internist. I will have to return for my flu shot because they won't get the vaccine in until the end of the month. My next appointment wasn't for two hours so I went home and then back again. The doctor was no-nonsense and said he didn't think it was bad. He wants me to take an antibiotic for ten days to see if it clears up. I was bummed and even though it is safe during pregnancy, I was hoping to remain as drug free as possible. Better to nip it in the bud now I guess in case it gets worse.
As a bonus at my midwife's we checked the baby's heartbeat again and she measured the height of my fundus. Hey I don't know what a fundus is either. But somehow it tells them the size and placement of my uterus. See we all learned a new word today kids. Now use it in a sentence.
