Default First OB Appointment

I love my doctor!

I haven't seen him in three years, and when he saw me in the hallway he gave me
a big hug and told me I looked wonderful (I'm about 30 lbs. lighter and in much
better shape then when we last met!).

He cut my remaining bill in half, said I can pay it whenever, and allowed me to
come back to the practice with no guarantee of payment for the current
pregnancy (looks like I can get Medicaid, though!).

He remembers all about me and all my pregnancies, even to remembering what my
husband's part-time job was 14 years ago when we first began seeing him.

He told me that I have enough room to have an even bigger baby than William
vaginally. He also assumed that I would be VBACing again, and he said we would
go with *my* due date (based on estimated date of conception) even though it is
a week later than what the dating ultrasound showed.

The only problem I anticipate is that he will probably push for some form of
induction if I go beyond my due date, as he said as much today. I asked him if
he didn't think induction was risky given three prior c-sections and he said
ordinarily, perhaps, but not after I labored so well last time with pitocin and
an unusually large baby.

In other news, I did have the ultrasound and everything looks normal there, so
that was nice to see. And the ultrasound tech said that although it's a bit
soon to tell for sure, she thinks it looks like a girl.

Oh, how terrific Leslie. I'm so glad he's taken you on again and
seems as supportive of VBAC this time.

How wonderful ... it makes me miss my old Ob who has had to stop doing
Obstetrics due to the insurance crisis for health workers in Australia. The
new guy I see is OK .... but he's just *not* the same man who delivered my
daughter, joked with me through the entire pg, and held my hand when he told
me that my baby had died and I was going to miscarry last November :`{

.... but a *bigger* baby than William.... oooohhhhh ahhhhhhh.

Oh, that's too bad--it's hard to make a change.

He sounds really special. :-(

Well, you know, I'm not *trying* to have a bigger baby, but Jake was 11.5,
Teddy was 12, and you know about William . . . getting bigger does seem to be
the trend!
