The Doctor

I had my first visit with my ob today. I have heard mostly negative about her, bad beside manner being at the top of complaints, but i heard bad about the only other two ob/gyns in town as well and mine is the only female so i decided to take my chances. I was a little dissapointed but a little re-assured at the same time after todays visit. I was reassured because she seemed nice enough to me. She even cracked a couple smiles and kinda laughed once. I was dissapointed at the lack of of a "checkup". I peed in a cup, weight, height, and blood pressure were checked (i wasn't told the results of any of these but then again i didn't ask). The Dr. got a brief history of my other three births from me and then gave me three requisitions (two blood work, one for 18 week ultrasound). And that was that. I at least expected her to check height of fundus but I suppose i'm just too early for her to bother with that. I go back in two weeks for a routine "thingy" that I should have had done a year ago but put off cause really, who wants to? And then in another two weeks after that I go for my next prenatal checkup. This was also good news. I get to see her for the entire pregnancy instead of seeing a family Dr. until week 33 and then switching to my ob. I suppose it is because she is new to obstetrics and maybe not as busy. Either way i'm glad.

As for other things, the last three days i've been feeling rather yucky. It could be worse.....but it could be better, lol. I hope it doesn't get worse until after our trip. I've been crampy off and on throughout today which is always nerve racking. Hopefully its just from feeling sick and goes away tomorrow.

I still havent' opened the bins of baby clothes, i must have some will power left in me.
