Tina - I am so sorry about your loss. Please know that you and DH are in my thoughts.
Claudia, you are amazing! I must echo what the other members have already said and thank you for keeping us all updated in the program
I love seeing all the ultrasound pictures of your little beans. I'd wish I had some from my appointment this past week. Please keep on posting them, I had no idea how clear they are. I love it!
Ladies, I had my 1st prenatal visit with the new OB/GYN this past Thursday, 3/27 and unfortunately, we didn't meet the OB/GYN that I had originally made my appointment with because I was told that he doesn't do first prenatal appointments, so instead another OB/GYN saw us and this woman had no bedside manner. She was kinda a b-i-t-c-h!
and
really cold. She was so impersonal when we met her, did not have eye contact with us (DH was with me) when we entered her office. She told us that she doesn't do U/S at first prenatal visits but after I insisted that I get one because I have not had one since 3/4 and I wanted to make sure I was still preggo. She then obliged and brought us into the next room. I opened my legs and
OOOUUUCH! I had a pap smear done and some other cervical mucus test. You know how uncomfortable those pap smears are *sigh*, DH was in shock because he had never seen one done ever. I guess he will not be a good support buddy at delivery time and will need to stay with me at head level and not look down there, LOL. This woman did not give me any warning whatsoever that she was going to do a pap smear! Then she proceeded to do the U/S and I was like "Is that the heart?"---"yep." "Is that a good heartbeat?"---"yep." I am like...."ok, this is fun!" LOL.
For my next appointment, I made sure to make it with the OB/GYN that I was referred to see at that office. It will be on April 24th.
I will be doing the NT and I will have the date next week.
Another thing to add is that because of my myomectomy done last April (2007), I was told by my RE that I may have to go for a c-section because the scar tissue of the uterus is weak where they had to cut at the time of the procedure. So this may change my due date to be in September. This was sort of confirmed again at this last appointment but I was told that this depends on how developed the baby's lungs are at 37 weeks because if they are not, we will have to wait and play it by ear.
Sorry for the venting and rambling! DH was supportive but I can tell he doesn't want to hear my complaining of our first appointment because he insisted that we continue to see my old (not old in age) OB/GYN but I insisted in changing to a new one. . . another long story on why I decided to change, so that is for another thread
Have wonderful preggo weekend!
