my first OB visit



after finding out i'm pregnant, i began the search for my OB. having sought out recommendations from friends who've had babies in the last few months, i have a few names. and being next door to megamall, i went to visit the OB who holds a clinic there. omg, her schedule was 4-6pm but she arrived 5:15pm. i didn't mind waiting as i took time off work but sayang din naman oras ko di ba?? anyway, i wasn't too upset. i was number 7 in the list and i got to see her at 5:45 pm.

dr. R was nice and pleasant. she asked me to get an ultrasound first so she can see how far along i was. so i did, and i saw our baby's heart beat! it was so unexpected, naiyak ako! :) the sonologist (?) told me the baby's heartbeat is strong, so that's a good sign. can't believe there's indeed life growing inside of me! she also confirmed that our baby is 6 weeks old. :)

then it was back to the OB, she prescribed me folic acid and prenatal vitamins, and asked me to do more laboratory tests. i did those and was told to pick up the results the next day.

after picking up the results, i was glad that dr. R also had a clinic schedule on the same day, 2-4pm. i was number 3 on the list, but was so disappointed that she hasn't arrived yet at 3pm. when i asked the nurse-assistant, she said "nasa parking na po." nakaka-highblood!!! :( i left na lang.

my friend rey texted, "welcome to doctor's check ups! dear, amo gid na sya but ask nurse if she's coming. kay kis a ga pa bun a pa na sya mo hehe. amo man na obrahon nya sa pasyente nya kun ikaw lang magbun a. :)"

oh well. i haven't seen her since, as her schedule falls in between office hours and i can only make takas once in a while. we have an OB coming in today at the office clinic so i might as well see her about these tests first.

k and i actually agreed to stick it out dr. R already, but i am now considering seeing another OB who was recommended by a college classmate. hmmmmmmm.
