Pregnant after 35

Found a new doctor

I just randomly picked some guy that delivers at a hospital close to my house that is in network with my insurance.  I was a little hesitant.  He just became a real doctor last year.  He was so wonderful!  My visit was 1 1/2 hours long of actively talking or doing something and no wait in the waiting room.  I did not even have time to fill out my new patient forms.  I am going have appointments every two weeks for a while with ultrasounds and then I go to once a month if all is well.  He just wants to be cautious because he thinks my cervix is short.

Everyone at the center, connected to the hospital was so nice.  It was such a happy visit.  Everyone that I came into contact with congratulated me on my pregnancy from the valet, to the guy doing the bloodwork, to the woman making the appointments.

  • I love new docs, they aren't jaded and cynical yet - still excited to be practicing medicine.

  • Just read your update in the check-in about the lady trying to control your baby feeding options. What a bummer! She has no right to tell you what to do - I just can't believe how many people think they can control pregnant women's bodies and their choices.  Those are your boobs, and you baby. I can't believe she tried to boss you around like that. Erg!

    It was not just me.  There were 11 other couples on the tour.  She said that it was hospital policy but the doctor assured me that was not true.  Luckily, I think that even though she is a nurse, she doesn't treat patients anymore.

    Geez! The other couples must have been in shock also. It's a good thing she's not treating patients anymore.
