I know y'all are tired of these already (1st appointment)

UberBiz · June 2014

Well, I suppose technically my second? My first was only the blood draw to confirm pregnancy, and already had a dating u/s (at 8w1d). But today I finally got to meet my OB and she seems really nice. The PA took care of everything else, though, the pap, cultures, the u/s (baby bean was jumping ALL over the place! She kept laughing cuz I guess s/he was more active than she usually sees?), but no pics because the printer on the machine was broken

Boo. Then I got to talk with the OB for like, 3 minutes before going to get all my blood taken (11 vials, yikes!).

All looks good! Next appointment in 4 weeks

11 vials?? What? Did you pass out?

Congrats on a good appointment.

Oh yeah, 11. I made sure to count them a couple times cuz I couldn't believe how many she pulled out! LOL. And no, not even a little bit dizzy. Go me!

My H would have passed out after 11 vials. He almost passes out after 1.

He almost passed out during my epidural.

11 vials?! Good gracious! I passed out cold last week after getting 4 drawn! Literally fainted. You are one tough girl!

I feel like I had more taken last time, but I can't remember. I've always been good about getting blood taken, which is a shame since I've never been able to donate blood (have never weighed enough! LOL).

I had to have 9 vials.. I had to lay down the entire time so I wouldn't faint..

Congrats on the great apt though!

Congrats...and no need to think we don't like (well I should speak for myself) to hear good news of happy mommies and healthy babies! I had to give like 6 vials last time and was like would you like to just go get a gallon jug, I am sure w ecan just fill that right on up for yah. But Goodness...11 vials you are a trooper and you might want to make sure your OBGYN is not selling your DNA on the black market lol
