I am still battling fear daily during this pregnancy, but I think that light is winning more now : ) I changed OB's and that is making a big difference already. I just saw the new practice today. They were thorough and had concerns that weren't raised by the other OB, but were shared by me. I think that was one of the big problems with my other OB. They didn't care what I thought or what I was feeling really. I know, I know. They are the Dr's. However, it is MY body and one that has done this four times before. I am the best expert on MY body where this is concerned. They also had A TON of info regarding my thyroid and this pregnancy; another thing not addressed at all, despite my asking, by the old OB. He seemed shocked that they hadn't performed some of the tests required for someone with thyroid issues when pregnant.
It was still a regular OB practice and that WILL NEVER compare to the sweet, personal, and spiritual care of my Midwife in GA, Diane Tandy. ( I would recommend her to ANYONE in the Atlanta area that is looking for a great, Christian care giver during your pregnancy.) But since midwifery isn't an option for me after the abruption, I pray that this practice is indeed the one that God intends to care for my baby and that He will bless all of us with ease and peace.
Thank you all for your sweet offers of prayer and concern for me and my family. I will take ALL OF THEM : ) We will have our level II u/s early next month, so we will know who will be joining our family : ) Is Pistachio a unisex name?!?!?!?!?! |
