Dr. APPOINTMENT #6!

So today I'm meeting Dr. A! I went to the hospital where I will be delivering. Once I got in I created a patient profile so I didn't have to worry about doing that in the last min. Dr. A came over and introduced himself and we went into his office. I guess today was a busy day for him so for the 1st while his assistant sat with me and went over all the family health background stuff I had to go through way earlier on.

Dr. A came in eventually and we chatted for a bit about labor and birth. He's very pro C-section, but he wasn't pushing it. He DID insist that I take pre-birth classes to help inform me about things and help me decide what I wanted. He also suggested I see a maternity therapist since I have a history with depression. I guess some mums have a hard time bonding/connecting with their little ones, and the therapy is supposed to help. I'm not too sure about that just yet.

After our talk he took me for a mini tour of the maternity ward. All the rooms are private, which I prefer. They don't have a nursery, so the baby will be in the room  with us at all times, which made me feel better...I watch way too many movies and I don't want to deal with any crazy baby stealers. We get our own nice little bathroom, and I guess you deliver in your room. Everything looked as cozy as it can get for a hospital. I personally hate hospitals, but I think I can handle it for 2-3 days.

Overall I was quite comfortable with the Dr. He seem's really passionate and professional, and I'm pretty happy we scored an awesome Dr. 

34 weeks down...nearly there!!
