First OB appointment

I absolutely love the clinic I go to.  My doctor and her nurse are just amazing.

So I had my first appointment today.  Typical of me, I peed before we left the house, so I had almost nothing to leave for a sample...  Tammy the nurse came and called me back.  She went through all of the usual information.  She was charmed by Wynter, who was in a good frame of mind for the beginning.  She told me to get changed, because we were gonna do a pap and pelvic exam, and then an ultrasund to check on baby.  Well, Dr Jayne didnt want to do anything internal today, because she didnt want to cause any bleeding or spotting and have me freak out.  Fine by me!

Well, Wynter got upsey because she was yelled at for touching the ultrasound machine.  Then she cried because another nurse came and took the ultrasound machine.  But she calmed down and then the doctor came in, with the ultrasound machine.  She did an external ultrasound to check on baby - squirming and kicking like crazy!  But no picture, cuz the machine was out.  Which was ok, because it was just a blob...

She got me cleaned up and then talked me through the "plan" for the pregnancy.  She said that any time I had a concern about anything, all I had to do was come in.  She would see me every month in the beginning.  She wanted to test me early for blood sugar, and test me often for blood sugar.  Starting at 28 weeks, she wants bi-weekly stress tests.  Every month an ultrasound.  And again, if I needed any reassurance in between anything, just to call.

She said during my next appointment, she would do the pap test and exam.  She wanted a blood sugar test and all of the other blood work.  (instead of putting Wynter through the trauma of watching Mommy get poked).

So all in all, not much happened.  But I saw Baby Bubble, everything looks good, and I know my doctor is right on the ball with me.  :)

Next appointment is scheduled for July 2.
