Hey ladies - had my doctor's appointment today. It went really well - I actually really liked her and think that when I do get pregnant I will move forward with her as my OB. She said sooooo many things that really made me feel good. She would monitor me VERY closely and also gave several options of things they would do this time around like progesterone shots, starting me on baby asprin (if needed), doing a stitch (if necessary), seeing me every 2 weeks until I am past the 24 week mark, putting me on bed rest if there are signs of preterm labor, measuring the length of my cervix, testing for bacterial vaginosis frequently, etc. I mean she really alleviated a LOT of my fears. The other thing that I REALLY liked was that she took a LOT of time with me and didn't seem to be rushing me AT ALL. We talked for about 30 minutes and she took time to explain things and also drew pictures, etc. to make it easy for me to understand. I actually feel a lot better now having found someone who I think will take my concerns seriously and who will work hard to ensure that all possible avenues are explored to prevent another loss. She did some blood work to see if I have a Lupus coagulant (?). She will get back to me with the results on that. Now if I can just get preggers!!!
I can see how not liking your doctor can be stressful. Now you don't have to be concerned about that.
