Not the best week ever

in 3rd Trimester

1. My OB just told me she is going to be gone from Sept 4 - 24 and my due date is Sept. 19.

2. I found out at my appointment yesterday that I gained 14 pounds in one month.

3. I had my childbirth class on L&D on Tuesday night and I am now scared to death.  Reading about it is so much different than talking about it and watching a video.

That said, baby is healthy and I'm feeling okay so I'm VERY thankful for that!

    aww that stinks. Are there other OB's in the practice that you have met and like?

    Will your OB introduce you to other OB's in the office before she goes since you will have to see someone for your weekly appointments? This will help you get to know them a little bit.

    Also, about the childbirth class...watching the video's freaks me out and I just can't handle the thought of it all. I realize that if I focus on breathing, remembering what I'm supposed to do, and trusting my health care professionals to guide me ... I can do it and it will be fine. I think it's going to be very different when it's you going through it, than watching it happen to someone else. Just keep positive about it all, you can do it!

    I would punch my OB in the face if she told me when I was that far along that she was going to be out of town for three weeks around my due date.
