Anyone else feel weird at OB?

[changedname]

Don't know how to explain it, I had my first OB appointment yesterday after graduating from the RE.

The place was (obviously) full of pregnant women and I felt like I didn't belong... it was so weird. I kept thinking how much of a nightmare this place would be for an IF patient.

Added to it that my OB is like 35 and was wearing jeans and a hoodie... not what I expected after the formalities of the RE office.

I have been seeing my obgyn for my IUIs all summer and everytime I went in during treatments I was surrounded and it stung. During our second IUI DH and I were in the waiting room and a young girl came in asking where to go for an abortion. I am 100% pro-choice but that wasn't something that I needed to hear at that moment. I am on my way to my first OB appointment and first u/s in about a half hour and hopefully things will feel different this time around.

It is weird. I went and registered last week, and I felt weird just walking around the baby store, even though I am visibly pregnant. I wonder if it gets easier.

It was weird the first time because everyone else there wad visibly pregnant and I was not. Combined with the fact I felt like I was still fooling myself, I expected to walk in and the OB to tell me I wasn't pregnant.

My first appointment is next week! I am scared of all of these feelings. It's so weird to be considered normal after sssooo long at the RE.

  Good luck Kershnic. It really is weird, all the pg women are acting casual and for us TTTCers it is such a huge milestone.

BTW, I missed your BFP announcement as I was on vacation - I think double congrats are in order!!! Twins!  <) <)
