MFM/OB appt today

BrainySmurfette

I finally met with my new MFM/OB today.  I was supposed to be going in for my first pg appt last week, but it didn't happen because of my m/c.  So, I went in for basically a pre-conception consultation instead.

I'm feeling pretty good about the doctor.  He recommended waiting another month to TTC.  While I don't want to wait, the reasoning of avoiding another loss is probably a wise choice.  One more month isn't really that long, either.

Most of the appt was discussion of preeclampsia prevention and management.  I had severe pre-e and HELLP with my DD (birth/details in my bio), and I developed chronic hypertension as a result.  I was really impressed with his knowledge about these issue--which is important for me in a doctor, b/c I really want to survive my next pregnancy (and get a living DC, too).  I feel like I have a decent plan, now.  I also don't have to change my BP meds for TTC.

He also told me to call for an appt if I'm not pg after 3 months of trying--he doesn't see any reason to make me wait a whole year if I have trouble with TTC.  So, I'm happy with today's appointment.

I am glad your appointment went well. It makes such a difference when you and your doctor are on the same page and work well as a team.

That sounds really good! Yeahhh...I'm glad you like your new OB. I really like my OB. She's been great to me. After my m/c she spent her lunch talking w/me about what had happened to her. It made me feel so much better knowing that my dr. had experienced what I was......and so it's really great to have a dr. that will take the time to get to know your situation!!! Sounds like a good doc!
