My first appointment

Today I went to my first doctor’s appointment. Apparently at my clinic you have to see the OB nurse before they will let you see the actual doctor. The appointment was very informative. I didn’t get to hear the hearts beat or even have an exam but they sure did take a lot of blood, 5 tubes to be exact. I felt like I was going to pass out so they gave me some juice and crackers. We talked about my medical history and when my last period was to give me a due date to start with until I have the actual exam. My estimated due date is 3/8/09 and I am about 9 ½ weeks. We talked about where I would be having my baby and the nurse had me fill out my registration information for the hospital. I will be delivering at St. Johns Hospital. I am very excited because I love that hospital. I also thought I would have to pick a different doctor because my doctor that I’ve had since I was little is just a family physician but turns out she will be delivering my baby. That makes me very happy. My appointment with my doctor is next Wednesday. I let you all know how it goes.
