New Doctor Part #2

The midwife never called me back and I'm sure it was because of my high risk situation. I know it would be pretty hard for any doctor to pick me up at this point, but thankfully the first one I met turned out to be amazing!

She was referred to me by a fellow Colorado Mom on Cafemom. I got a lot of responses when I asked for suggestions, but hers stuck out to me because of the way she worded her post. I called and made an appointment and went in to meet her yesterday.

For 30 minutes, she patiently listened to me vent about everything that had been going on with my doctor. Although she didn't discredit the treatment (bedrest, steriod shots, etc.) she did mention a few other things my doctor COULD be doing (biweekly ultrasounds, referral to a perinatologist, 24 hour tests, etc- all to make sure DAVIN is okay) to make sure that me and the baby are okay.

And aside from letting me know there are a lot of other preventative steps we could be taking to make sure this has a happy ending, she also took the time to explain to me exactly what is going on and what they're looking for when they test me.

I walked out of her office feeling more informed and relieved. Although I don't think any doctor will take me off bedrest OR let me go to my due date, I know that there are other doctors out there that won't act too busy to listen to me.

I'm so thankful I found someone I liked so quickly, because I really don't have the time to be looking. It is for sure Davin will be here sometime next month and I just want to give the little guy every chance possible.

On a side note- we had the friend bbq on Sunday. The weather sucked which kind of made things difficult, but we pulled it together pretty quickly. It was nice to see everyone since I really won't be able to anymore and we got some really thoughtful gifts. We have such great friends.
