July 14th, I'll be 8 weeks. I still torn on MD w/ hospital birth or MW w/ birth center birth! I have an appt with the MD on the 13th and the MW on the 14th. So torn!!! I am going to the birth center next week for a tour, I hope to get a lot of my questions answered then and then I can make a more informed decision. I love the idea of a birth center but it is an hour away and I worry if there is a problem not even counting during labor or delivery, but during my pregnancy. If I have to go to the local hospital with some sort of issue, the MD on call will not know me at all. I worked L&D for 3 years as an RN, so I know all the risks of L&D, if anything seeing how MDs behave nowadays that is what makes me want to go to a birth center even more. So much to think about!!
PG#1 - 3rd cycle BFP. Team Green. HELLP syndrome @ 34 weeks. Later diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, possible link to HELLP.
PG#2 M/C 3/14 - Surprise BFP 2/13. Beta's doubled every 52 hours from 3w5d-5w5d Viable pregnancy scan at 5w5d; 2nd u/s showed 2 days of growth in 7 but a HB of 120 3rd u/s on 3/10/14 had no HB and baby had only grown 7 days over 14 D&C 3/17/14 - complications - DX Retroflexed uterus, multiple tears to cervix
I would plan my appt later, but I live out of the state where I will be giving birth (I'm in a unique situation this year) and will be visiting family in the city my Dr is in. So my appt is Wed, and I'll be 6w2d (according to O date).
I'm hoping I'll get an U/S but not sure if it will be too early to see anything.
July 6th at 3:30pm! I think i will be 8.5 weeks. or something like that. The Doc is on vacation next week so I couldn't do it then. I feel like this month is going SOOOOO slow!

Well, I went to my regular gyno this past Tuesday at 5wks 4days to confirm the pregnancy. She doesn't do OB. So I had to find an OB on my own because her referral sheet sucked, which is annoying and an entire other story. I now have appointments with 3 different OB's, but I think I'm going to cancel 2 of them. The one I'm going to keep is Friday July 16th at 2:15. I'll be 9 weeks.

The MD will probably try to talk you out of the birth center. The Birth Center will not allow you to deliver there if there is a problem with your pregnancy or even a potential problem. They usually work with a Dr. and will send you to one if they think there are any problems.
IF all goes well with my PG, I place to deliver at a birth center that is next to a hospital. It is not IN the hospital, but connected by a hallway. If there is a problem with the birth the hospital will be right there. (Last time I had to go to a Dr. for the NT scan and he really liked my birth center and it was a great option for pple who did not want a hospital birth.)
My appt is July 23rd. It think it is between 10 and 11 weeks. They asked me if I wanted to come in for a blood test to confirm but I don't really see the point so I just said I would come in for the first official appt instead. When I went in for a blood test with my last pregnancy it was pretty uneventful. Plus now our insurance sucks so I would have to pay 100% for the lab. I think I will trust the three HPTs I took!

My doc's office normally does first appts between 8 and 10 weeks, unless it's high risk or there have been previous losses.
