Appointment

I had my first prenatal appointment today. I was pleased with the new doctor. He is way more thorough than my old doctor. It made me realize exactly how laid-back my old doctor was. I'm already set up for a sonogram on Monday. I didn't have a sono done with either of my girls until the 20th week. Also on Monday, he wants to go ahead and check my glucose since I had previously had gestational diabetes. So, that means I have to fast and drink that nasty drink. I went Wednesday and checked out the hospitals. I really liked the one that was further away. The one by my house was ok, but the staff did not want to show me around and I couldn't see the LDR's because they were full. The bad news I found out today is that I have to go to the one by my house. It wasn't that bad, but I'm afraid I'm going to have a bad nurse experience. I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with it. I will probably just be there one or two days anyway, if everything goes like my previous pregnancies. So, I'm not going to worry about it anymore. The doctor made me feel very confident that he would be able to handle anything that may happen and that he will catch anything that may happen. The one word I can describe my new doctor is Thorough. Very thorough. :) Overall, my first appointment went very well.
