First pre-natal

Today was my first pre-natal visit with the new office. I was referred to them by many in the area and everything that I heard was right on.

We had to wait a while to check in. Apparently they were having a problem with their online medical history program. It seemed like you were standing in line forever but, not feeling very well will make it seem that way I suppose. Kevin is so sweet. He actually stood in line for me until we got up the counter.

I didn't have to wait too long to go back and the doctor was pretty prompt about coming into the room. We chatted for a few minutes about what we expect this time around and then I had my exam. We, Kevin and I, were asked to discuss for a few moments whether we wanted the ultrasound. I did not and had already decided. It's pretty early and you can't see much. The doc. assured me that we should be able to hear the heartbeat next time through doppler, so that made my decision. We are waiting. I figure the 18 week ultrasound is good enough. This one would be to get dates, and personally, these little ones come when they are ready.

After my exam we went into the docs. office. I thought that was cool. We briefly talked about my nausea and he prescribed me something if I want to get it filled. I had my bloodwork after that and that was that. Scheduled my next appointment and we left. It was in and out pretty much. I do look forward to meeting the other doctors as well. Dr. B was good and he seemed to really know his stuff. He was not messing around was the vibe I got from him. He was very positive about our wants for a VBAC and said there shouldn't be a problem with that.

One good thing about this place is they are a lot closer than the last. He also said they used to have midwives but then the hospital wouldn't pay for them anymore, or something like that. Makes me wonder about the hospital but I have a feeling all will be just fine.

Until next time...
