dr tse

so i met my new ob/gyn today and i think we have a winner! (or at least i hope) my wonderful jenna recommended her and after some research i thought we should switch. and she is also a wash u-ian so i figured it couldnt hurt to have my specialist and ob out of the same place. i really did like my old dr but she just kinda seemed to not have a lot of experience with rpl (recurrent pregnancy loss) and my new dr specializes in it along with many other high risk pregnancy conditions. she told me that all the drs at that practice have had a m/c and i know my specialist has too. its crazy how common it is but no one talks about it. although they haven't been through multiple losses with no children, its nice to feel like the person treating you completely understands your pain. i started crying when she said "the moment you pee on that stick you become a mom." you mommies out there know its so true. your every move, thought, action, etc is based around your little baby you are growing inside. anyways..... she assured me that if/when we get pregnant and if/when we are released from the specialist within the first trimester, that she will see me every other week until im 20 weeks and can feel the baby moving all the time. im glad i wont have to wait a month b/w each appointment wondering if baby's heart is still beating. she even said if im having a bad week to just come in and they will do an u/s. this chick rocks for all these reasons. in the first trimester we will have to do "the first look" to see if there is anything chromosomally wrong with the baby through a special scan and maybe some bloodwork to see if we are "high risk". but hopefully we wont have to worry about being high risk and can just have a normal pregnancy. ha! if only this whole journey was that easy. in conclusion, my new dr is awesome and made me feel even more secure that i will be well taken care of. although no one can stop a m/c from happening, i feel like im surrounded by really educated professionals who will take care of me, hub, and future baby h. love love!
