(Don't worry, we know we have a few other pics to post --- grammy presents, belly pics--- they're on their way).
Today was our 2nd midwife appointment. We didn't "love" our midwife today. She wasn't as warm and fuzzy as I would have hoped and she actually made me feel a bit anxious. She discouraged me from taking TUMS for indigestion, but rather Papaya pills. That's fine, but she had no real knowledge of said Papaya pills (e.g., supplement or tablet). She also recommended that I drink a minimum of 2 liters of water... wooo- that's a lot of water, and a lot of peeing. She also discouraged me from drinking ANYTHING else... as if my 1 soda a week is too much. Sadly, I felt like a number today, and she didn't really look at my file until she walked into the examine room. She seemed cold and waited for me and Morgan to ask questions about test results.
On a happier note, we did hear Chucy's heartbeat again. That was special.
Our next ultrasound is on June 18th for an anatomy ultrasound and our next midwife appointment (with another midwife) is on June 21st.
Today... MARKS 2nd Trimester!!! Yay.

Yay, second semester. Do what makes you individually feel OK. You will be fine. Everyone has an opinion, you have to do what you feel is best for you! Love you!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely look for another midwife. Or get a doula. There are so many warm, encouraging midwives out there and if you don't absolutely love her, then find another. This person will have an important role in your next several months so make it best it can be. You deserve the best! Not to feel like a number! Hrmph. I should give her the What-For...
ReplyDeleteWell, she's only one of the different midwives, we're just going through the rotation now. Hopefully, she won't be the midwife when we deliver....
