Volta ao médico

No dia 22 (hum..) volto ao Dr. Ravi para fazer um exame bacteriológico chamado GBS, ou Group B Streptoccocus. Pelo que li, nem todos os médicos fazem este exame, mas os riscos que corre um bebê caso a mae tenha a tal bactéria ali embaixo sao bastante sérios (meningite, septicemia, pneumonia), entao fico feliz que o nosso ob-gyn seja cuidadoso e tenha proposto antes de que eu pedisse (aha! tinha lido na minha super-bíblia a respeito antes de ir à última consulta!).

A propósito, tenho recebido uma e-news bastante bacana, do babycenter.com. A enews é super bem-feita, o conteúdo é completinho, mas às vezes os comentários e as descriçoes que eles fazem do feto-baby sao muuuito americanas. Como a desta semana:

"This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches from the top of his head to his heels. Thanks to his recent weight gain, he's losing that wrinkled alien look. Most of your baby's bones are hardening now, but his skull is still quite pliable. It's actually in separate pieces with spaces in between. This flexible structure allows your baby's head to compress so it can fit through your relatively narrow birth canal. The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance. This is totally harmless, normal, and temporary. Your baby's head will quickly take on a more rounded appearance, but his skull plates won't completely fuse until he's about 9 to 18 months old."

Obviamente, o que está em negrito é coisa minha....isto me lembra tanto a maneira da Dani B. descrever as coisas, que rio sozinha sempre que leio algo vindo deles...
