Your not a fruit cake :-) Since it is hard to talk to him during your
appointments write down all your questions on a piece of paper and hand it
to his nurse so he can read it before he comes in. He might just say "It is
all normal" if you just make a list of concerns so keep it simple and to the
point but write down "Please explain to me about the babies position" etc.
Another thought is to call his nurse and explain that you are becoming
increasingly anxious and your special circumstance with your sister's baby.
Ask if it is possible to schedule extra time at your next appointment to
discuss things more thoroughly etc. I would think she'd give the doctor a
heads up. With your doc's personality the key to that will be that you'll
have to lead the conversation with your concerns. Don't worry about crying.
I can't imagine that an OB doctor doesn't see a woman cry nearly every day,
lol.
