Today was the very first visit at our new OBGYN Office. I wasn't sure what to expect since I was used to such thorough attention at the IVF Clinic, but everyone was great today. The nurse practitioner did a physical and asked questions I didn't know the answer to (When was your last period? What was it like?) since it's very different with IVF stuff. Luckily I had my medical history from the clinic and she just got information from that. I liked that I didn't feel rushed with the nurse practitioner.
I even got the regular ultrasound that is done on the stomach. The babies were showing off their new skills so she was moving the wand all around trying to get good pictures and the heart beats. They definitely like to move! We actually saw Baby B flip to face the other way. It was hard to tell what was the hand and foot since they were so active.
I had to get my blood drawn twice, but the phlebotomist was good enough that it didn't hurt. One time was the regular new patient check-up and the other was for some genetic testing.
I was also told that with twins they always do C-Sections around 37 weeks unless I have some particular birth plan which I would need to discuss with my doctor (who I see next week) to see if it was safe to do. I'll just do whatever the doctor thinks is best!
Sounds like you have some great doctors and nurses and getting great care in every way. That was exciting to see the little gymnasts in action! What a wonderful day! The pics are so cool to see too! They will be fun to show to your kids someday. Hope you feel better each day! You all are in our thoughts and prayers! Love you! Mom
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I am glad you are doing what the doctor suggests on the c section. Better safe than sorry. Love, Dad
ReplyDeleteMy OB said as long as baby A is head down and bigger than baby B they will usually try vaginal birth unless you opt to do c section. We told the OB that whatever he thought was best for the babies that wouldn't result in both vaginal and c section that is what we wanted. They thought I would end up in c section because baby b was breech and so small but she was never under any stress throughout my labor so they tried vaginal. I am glad I did because the recover is easier with a 3 year old bossing me around :)
