Couple observations I think are weird.

1. Tomorrow is my first doctor's appt for this pregnancy. I fired my old OB so this is my first time meeting this doc face to face, although I had a lengthy phone convo with him. I am nervous as hell about this appointment and I'm not sure why.
2. DH is soooooo paranoid about what I eat this pg. Not like, "oh don't eat that you will gain too much weight", it's more like "are you sure that's safe to eat?" (I'm referring to eating a sandwich at McD's, having a cup of tea (even though I do decaf anyway usually) etc.
It makes me mad because there's a part of me that suspects he's acting this way because maybe he thinks dd came early because of something I did. But I know that's not a totally fair way to think. But it is frustrating.

Re: Couple observations I think are weird.
I say #1 is pretty normal. I am hoping for a VBAC, and I was already nervous before I got pg about my next OB visit.
and I think men aren't sure what to do to help - I'm sure he doesn't think that you did anything to make your DD come early, but just his way of trying to control something and make sure you and the new LO are ok.
aww...I'm sure hubby is just worried. It was NOTHING you did I am sure of that.
I had severe pre-e found at 33.5 weeks and I made it to 35 and ds had to come out. I felt very guilty wondering if I should have done something different or if it was my fault. In the end you dod the best you can. I am definetly trying to eat healthier, but in the end, its really nothing you do.
Take it easy!!!
I agree with you completely!! Yes, men, they try they do, but its not word vomit! haha They are scared to say too little and then just say too much! I'm sure he's just got you and baby in his best interest! TC and good luck with new dr!!
I guess everyone is different, DD came @ 35 weeks and spent a week in the NICU but is now happy and healthy. I don't feel guilty....
I read your post below about watching what you eat (tuna or something like that) and how you want to prevent another preemie. I think that is wonderful but I also think some things just happen for a reason.
I guess that is just me though. I am a very laid-back person.
As far as your DH is concerned I wouldn't give it too much thought, otherwise you'll drive yourself nuts
GL!!
HI! I went through the tri boards with you last year- although I didn't post nearly as much then as I do now!
Congrats on #2 - looks like I'll be going through the tri boards with you again!
#1 - I am the same way! I am going with a MW practice this time and my first appointment is next week and I'm super apprehensive for some reason.
#2 - Try not to think of it that way. I'm sure your DH knows that nothing about your daughter's early birth was because of anything you did. I would think of it more as him being scared by what happened with your DD and he's trying to do what he knows how to do to "help." I'm sure it's annoying, but hang in there. I'm sure he means well!
Congrats again!
