| try ob and you'll see |
| 05.10.05 (12:47 pm) [edit] |
It's a long story, but I haven't actually seen my OB-GYN since Danny was six months old. (I went to Planned Parenthood for one intermittent appointment though.) And I haven't seen my own doc when getting the blood tests and ultrasound done. My first official OB appointment will take place on Friday.This morning, my office phone rang and the caller ID read "private." "JT, this is 'Jane Doe*'" says the voice. "Dr. Doe! Hi, how are you?" I asked. "I'm fine, fine. Just staring at this ultrasound on my desk with your name on it.... how did that happen?" "Dr. Doe, if you don't know the answer, then you're not the doctor I thought you were..." She cracked up. I have the best doctor. She's this lovely, youngish Asian-Ameri can woman with a great sense of humor but a warm bedside manner. She has made sure to switch with someone so she could be on site to deliver both Jake and Danny, which is pretty damned cool. (There are something like seven doctors in her practice, all women, and they rotate hospital duty.) Dr. Doe wanted to know how I was feeling (nauseous), when I was coming to see her (Friday), and if I had any questions even though, as she said, "it's not like you haven't done this before." She will probably start medicating me for the hyperemesis, she said, but she'll wait to see me first. She apologized for my being sick again, and I reminded her that she didn't do this to me, and if she did, there would probably be some sort of AMA-sanctioned conflict. Not to mention some scientific interest. Of course, now I'm totally baby-fixated and can't concentrate on my work. Damn it. *Not her real name. Duh. |

Oh, no! on the morning sickness. Sucks enormously, doesn't it? Unfortunately, from what I hear, no two pregnancies are ever exactly the same. Good luck to you -- hope the morning sickness ends fast!!!
