Hoping for More Doctor's Reassurance

I've never been more excited for doctor's appointments than I have been during this pregnancy. Every time I have a doctor's appointment I become all giddy. Weird right? But I get to hear his little heartbeat and I get reassured that he's doing okay, which super nervous first time moms need (A LOT). I feel great after leaving the doctor's office, and that high lasts about a week....then I start worrying again that something's wrong and feel like I need the doctor's reassurance again right away, but I have to wait three more weeks to hear it.

Well, another three weeks have come and gone and tomorrow we have another appointment. As excited as I get, I do also get nervous at the chance that something might be wrong. Tomorrow I have a lot of questions to ask, and am a little concerned about some pressure I've been feeling this week. Monday I woke up in a lot of pain. I had severe pelvic pressure that made it hurt to walk, sit, cross my legs...anything, and it lasted for about 7 hours. Although the pressure has lightened since then, I still feel some sort of very low pelvic pressure every day. I've felt pelvic pressure before, but nothing like this-nothing like Monday! So my first-time mom nerves are making me a little uneasy about it all, but I'm hoping that tomorrow brings another week of reassurance.
