Weekly Appointments Thread - Week of 6/5

@scatteringashes I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to commiserate.  That's is unbelievably frustrating you're having to jump through that extra hoop. There was a hospital midwife practice near where I used to live who didn't take any women with a weight over 200. Which is ridiculous, because even if you really think an obese bmi automatically makes you high risk (and to be clear I don't, and I don't think the science supports that either) taller women could weigh 200+ and be totally fine or just classified as overweight.  I remember thinking it was the most arbitrary cutoff.  Anyway, I hope your appointment with the dr. goes well and you can be released back to midwife care. Since your appointment went well with her, I'd give her the benefit of the doubt!

Appointment this afternoon was great!  I'm measuring just 1 day off of what I thought I should be based on what they measured 3 weeks ago.  She told me a EDD one day in the other direction, though, so for my own sanity I'll probably just leave my ticker alone   Definite growth, got to see the feet & the eye sockets & hear the heartbeat again (music!)

Now I just need to decide if I want to go back to my OB's office I was seeing before the RE for find someone new altogether.

Had my first ultrasound this morning, and there are TWO little gummy bears in there! RE also released me from her office, and i called and made an appointment with my regular OB for June 30th. I don't want to wait that long to see them again!

Called an Ob/Gyn office here in town to see if they're expecting new patients and I have an appointment with a midwife on Tuesday afternoon!  Definitely wasn't expecting to get in within 2 business days, so I'll call that a win.  Its an hour closer than my old Ob/Gyn office and they're open later so I'll save a ton of benefit time over the next seven months (and not have to drive super far in the snow!)

The Ob/Gyn office I was going to before was part of the on-call group of doctors for the hospital I want to LDR at so the chances of me getting my own Obstetrician off of the rotation was slim anyways.
