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. Leslie Emily (13), Jake (10), Teddy (9), William (3 -- 13 lb. 5 oz.

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.

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 :`{ He sounds really special. :-( ... but a *bigger* baby than William.... oooohhhhh ahhhhhhh. 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! Leslie |
