15w2d: Experiences

I'm not having a good medical experience. It took 3 weeks to get a prenatal registration appointment. After the 1.5 hour registration appointment (mostly waiting), I had to go to the lab and wait for another 1.5 hours only to find out my account information was messed up. I spent another hour trying to sort out my patient information with medical records and patient admissions. After about 1 week, I found out I have my first OB appointment 1 day before I go in. Organization is not key to this place.

I had my first visit with my new OB. On first impression, his customer service skills are very impressive. He likes to ask me if I had any questions after every comment he made. I didn't feel rushed or feel like a number. It stinks going to a new doctor and being pregnant because I had to get a physical all over again. Talk about pain.

I had some bleeding this morning. The causes may be one of 2 things. It turns out my cervix is a little inflammed or it could have been some external irritations. The bleeding stopped after 3 hours and the doctor wasn't alarmed, so I wasn't either especially since I felt no cramps.

The babies are growing well. Lefty Lucy was pretty mellow. Lefty had a heartbeat of 170.


Righty Tighty moves a lot. Righty has a heartbeat of 160bpm.

I'm starting to think that Lefty is an instigator because I feel Lefty more and I don't feel Righty until Lefty moves. I think Lefty kicks Righty and make Righty move.

I am sad that the doctor can't tell the genders with that ultrasound machine.

12w5d: Really?

So I hear that 13w0d is a magical day. I actually had a magical morning and didn't throw up. Zantac and Zofram have been working wonders for the last 3 days. I think those maybe my magic pills. Hopefully, I won't need them in 2 days. Now, I wonder if my evening will be as great as my morning.

I just read that the babies are about 3 inches long now. Dang, they grow fast!

I'm living on eating small meals every 1.5-2 hours or the nausea hits. It's definitely manageable now and I am not sure how I was able to get through the last 5 weeks of the pregnancy blues.I was so miserable. The Zantac might just be masking the idea that I am ok. I'm glad that it last 12 hours.

Oh well, it's time to snack again.
