Is this normal? I am growing quite a bit and I am on the paler side. " "Delayed cap refill on your belly? How delayed?" RN "Its about 4-5 seconds, I had my coworker (another RN as well) look at it and confirm the timing. Not sure if im being overly worried but i just  noticed it when I went to the bathroom at work and thought, hm, that's different. " Patient "Would you be able to send a picture of your belly for me to take a look at?" RN photos sent "Overall, this looks normal. This can happen from the quick growth during pregnancy, but nothing to be concerned with" RN  6/7/2022 Message to GI MD "My upper scope last fall looked good after reporting some difficulty with swallowing. This symptom has continued and now over the last month I have noticed that I am having some weird changes with my speech- difficult to explain fully but I feel like my tongue is not articulating the way it used to especially if I am having longer conversations and kind of like it flattens out and sticks to my teeth? Sounds goofy and again I am having a hard time explaining what I am feeling. At the time of my scope we had discussed possibly seeing a SLP for eval? I cannot remember but I feel like we decided against it since the scope was good. Is there something further you recommend for evaluation? I am also 20 weeks pregnant right now so I realize that may hinder some things. " "Congratulations on your pregnancy.  Please try Pepcid 20 mg 2 times daily.  You may buy these pills from over-the-counter.  Please try this for a couple of weeks and kindly contact me if your symptoms do not improve with this.  Thank you."

Also is there any concern regarding fetal growth?" patient  "No, it's just suboptimal still. No concerns.  As far as the growth, it's very early to determine if there is cause for concern or not.
