Doctor's appointment
I had my first OB/GYN visit yesterday and I feel much more reassured now. I have a follow up ultrasound Friday and once that's done I think I'll actually be able to relax and look forward to things. I know my mom's been looking at baby stuff already, the crazy woman. The sense I left the doctor's office with was that if the worst was going to happen it would have happened and that everything should be ok. She even thought I should be able to breast feed, which after 2 breast surgeries, is a bit of a surprise. I really liked the doctor and feel very at ease with her so I'm glad I got a good one! Unfortunately, she's at Women's at HSC, which is a DUMP, but what can you do? My next big decision is to get the test if the baby might have down syndrome. Now, the operative word in that sentence is MIGHT. They can't tell you definitatively and you spend the next 6 months worrying that there's a 1 in 500 or 1 in 600 chance that your baby might have down syndrome. I don't need that stress.
