I'm so glad that you're feeling better and that Dr. M is taking great care of you! Which dr was it that you don't like? I may know…there was one in that practice I didn't care for a ton either, but there was also one I didn't meet. Sorry I didn't answer your text the other day, I am worse than ever about checking my phone often and remembering to get back to people. I'm just glad that the contraction/medicine thing is working out better and your worries have been alleviated. You're doing great!!

I'm so glad you're feeling more at ease with all this. My MIL is a nurse practitioner and she says pregnant women are a third gender with very specific needs. I tend to agree with her.

I'm really glad you found a doctor you're comfortable with – and that she'll make it work for you!

Awww sweetie!!! *hugs*
I am happy that you got to talk to this doctor and it sounds like she has made you feel much better about the situation. Hang in there. I just think the stress if IF has you so nerved up and now you are soooo incredibly happy to finally be pg and now with the contractions…you just want your baby boy to be safe and sound in there until it's time to come out! Everything will turn out ok!

Everyone is different, but I had BH every single day from 5 months on. Probably 10 a day. Sometimes they were random and sometimes doing things like bending over would bring them on. And I carried my first baby 43 weeks – yes I'm serious! She weighed 9 lbs and was perfect. Hang in there girl!

I am so glad you switched to someone that you trust. AND that gives you the time of day. Wonderful.

Oh, forgot to mention that I switched OB's after that and was so much happier.

You are going to be a great mother, I worried and stressed a lot during pregnancy (like everyone else). They sent me to a specialist at 9 wks preggo b/c they thought my baby had a chromosome disorder, after I had seen specialists for the 1st half of my pregnancy, on my last specialist apt. – the Dr. said "I don't need to see you anymore, I really don't know why your OB sent you here, 9 wks was too early to make those assumptions" so I was put through an emotional ordeal for nothing to say the least. I have noticed as well that there are conflicting opinions among the Dr. world and it is so annoying. But you will know Knox better than anyone else, so go with your gut. The worrying just means you care
