11 week OB update (current and prev pg ment, child ment)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you all know that I had my 2nd OB

appointment today and everything is fine. Heard the heartbeat, yay! I

really liked the OB I met today. We discussed VBAC at length.

Basically, this OB would be supportive of me attempting a VBAC if the

baby is head down and I understand and accept the risk of a uterine

rupture, but he also would be supportive of me opting to take the

safe route and schedule a c-section. I think I am leaning toward the

safe route.

I also told the OB that I am going to decline the triple-screen (AFP)

blood test this time. I had a false positive last time. He was

totally fine with that, although I will have to sign a million forms

saying basically that it's my decision and I won't sue them. He

suggested that we could do my level II U/S at 18 weeks instead of 20

if I'm going to skip the blood test. That works just fine for me! So

looks like we will find out boy or girl a little earlier than I

thought. :-)

The pregnancy is going well, but I am much more tired and sick

(nauseous) this time than I was last time. This probably has to do

with having a child to take care of and not being able to take such

good care of myself. Although I swear I am really trying to take care

of myself! It's just hard.

Well, that's all for now - I'm completely exhausted and I need to go

rest.

Wishing all of you health and dreams that come true!
