Kathy, I'm glad you switched drs. They're probably being extra cautious like they were with me. I found it reassuring.

I just want to add that I clearly look like I'm about 25-28 weeks right now. I'm really crampy so maybe it's just gas, but I am absolutely shocked when I look in the mirror. This is nutso.

Sara - I am embarrassed at how big my belly is right now. I look a LOT further along that what I actually am. Plus I have gained about 7lbs so far.....not so good. I am only 10 weeks. But the good news is I have been cleared to work out so hopefully I won't gain the weight I did with Macy

Well my doctor called me in on Wednesday to have another ultrasound and tell me that she wanted me to see the high risk doctor asap. It was nice that she took the time to go over my records and made a proactive decision about my care. I had another ultrasound today (second in two days!) with my high risk doctor and she is running a TON of bloodwork on me to see if she can help prevent a miscarriage if one is looming. I also go back in two weeks with my high risk doctor for the NT scan.

I can't say enough good things about my two doctors. I am so reassured being in their care. I feel like that care for me not only as a patient, but as a person........something I never felt with my previous doctor. On a sidenote - the lady who was doing my ultrasound today just recently took a job at my new practice after working for my old doctor for years (what are the odds?). Anyway, we got to talking about him and she made it clear that I was in much better hands at the new practice and while my old doctor was a nice guy he was only motivated by money and farmed everything out to his NP so he could only meet with potential surgery patients. Plus she commented on his ridiculous wait time and how he couldn't care less how long his patients waited to see him (I regularly waited 2.5 hours to see him). Ahh, I wished I jumped ship sooner. I have this HUGE sense of relief with my new doctors. I feel like nothing will fall through the cracks with them.
