I had my first OB appointment with a Dr. here in Brigham. I have to admit, I have been having panic attacks thinking about this since it was scheduled over a month ago. But, as I am now 24 weeks pregnant, and 4 hours is a little long to drive in labor, i figured i had better put on my big girl panties and find one close. It wasn't so bad, he answered all my questions, gave me the name and number of a birthing Dula, and didn't rush me out of the office.
I have been stressed, because finding a size friendly Dr can be like finding a needle in a haystack. I still don't know how everything will be, I may just end up freaking out and having a home birth (though Eric will drag me to the hospital if it comes to that!).
The baby is growing fine, my BP is okay and no signs of sugar or protein in my urine, no weight gain to date, and that's for the whole pregnancy, but that's okay. I am eating again, trying to remind myself that it's not just me i have to worry about, i AM growing a child here too! Baby Lilly is set to make her appearance in to this world in July!
