Re: first time mom
The biggest regret I have with my first is that I didn't "interview" my OB. I felt stupid doing it. But in reality, it's your money and your insurance. If you can, even this early in the game, try and envision what you want for your pregnancy/birth. Granted, all things are not in your control, but in the best of circumstances, what do you want? (There are some great questionnaires online, or on apps that can get you started on the typical 'birth plan' type questions) Then, just as you would with any other service, try and find someone that you think best fits what you want for this pregnancy and birth as well.
Also, watch what you eat. I gained 70 pounds (no GD) with my first because I started to eat anything and everything in sight. Sure, being huge wasn't that bad when I was growing a human but after said human was delivered...... yeah. It wasn't pretty, and I never fully felt beautiful after that.
Thanks ladies! I'm on my way to the dr. now!
Have a Blessed day = ]
