I finally saw the doctor today. Kinda reassuring but also overwhelming at the same time. I found it intriguing that he didn’t actually retest me. I know it’s certain that I’m pregnant anyway, but it was interesting that he just took my word for it. The tests are that reliable though that he didn’t feel the need to do another one.
I did have people warning me to book into a hospital and with an obstetrician asap, but I still discovered just how hard it is to get in. I’ve had a few recommendations on who to see, and I was lucky to be able to get in with one of my first choices…..or inclination for a first choice. All the others that I’d been recommended were already booked out.
I’m seeing Dr Melissa Sandercock (pronounced Sanderco) on 15th October. That’s only a bit over 3 weeks away so I guess it’ll be reassuring then when I finally see her. It’s all a bit overwhelming. My doctor today said there’s no issues with continuing the exercise I’m doing and I asked him about the risks of overheating and he said I’m only likely to overheat the baby if I do more than 3 hours of exercise in a sauna 😆
lol, ok he was exaggerating, but he’s made me feel better because it’s easy to get over paranoid and protective of baby 😉
