    I'm terrified. My husband and I have tried for almost four years, started some treatments and found out this past Friday that I'm pregnant. Didn't believe it, still don't (have a bad history with fertility issues and chemical pregnancies.) I've taken four test so far, different times of day, different days, different brands, all say the same but I'm scared as heck to be excited. I have to wait until the 11th of September before the OB will see me, and I'm petrified that when the date gets here something would have gone wrong. It's so scary to try to be positive when you have so much fear. Thank you for the wonderfully informative video!!

    • @PregnancyBirthParenting101
      @PregnancyBirthParenting101  4 года назад +1

      Your fear is completely understandable given everything that you've been through! I'm sorry you've had such a hard time and I'll be praying that this sweet little life grows healthy and strong! I would recommend seeing a therapist that specializes in the perinatal period to help you through this process and afterwards during the post partum period. You can do a Google search or check out www.maternalmentalhealthnow.org/ to find a provider in your area.

      But in all seriousness. Usually in doctors offices and hospitals they don't allow filming, but you could ask if they could make an exception for you to film the ultrasound since they aren't allowing your husband to be there or you could FaceTime him during it.

I hope they'll let my husband see the ultrasound at least with all this covid stuff going on. I've seen dudes with the women at my obgyn's office so hopefully. Even if he has to be in the car for the rest, I want him to be able to see and hopefully hear the baby's heartbeat

She also told me I could put the vaginal wand in and then when I was about halfway she shoved it the rest of the way in. Very uncomfortable.

      Maybe proof of the positive pregnancy test from your doctor so they don't have to repeat it at your new MD/midwife's office to save you the lab fee. And any pertinent medical/surgical history from your chart.

      I'm so sorry you had a terrible visit! I totally get wanting things to be the least invasive as possible! Usually if it's been a year or longer since your last Pap then they'll want to do that, but the pelvic exam is up to you and the provider. You have a right to ask for an explanation/education of anything they do and you also have the right to refuse anything if it doesn't seem right for you.

    • @PregnancyBirthParenting101
      @PregnancyBirthParenting101  4 года назад

      Absolutely! First, I would post on the local mom's groups what you are looking for in an on/fun and get some first hand recommendations. Based on those recommendations you can see which ones your insurance covers. Then check out Google/Yelp reviews if they have any. And then once you've narrowed it down to a few you can call their offices and say you would like to do a meet and greet with that doctor. Just keep in mind that a lot of doctors take "call", so if you go into labor in the middle of the night and it's not your doctor on call will they come in for you or will you get the doctor on call. Make sense?!

    • @PregnancyBirthParenting101
      @PregnancyBirthParenting101  4 года назад +1

      The doctors or midwives At the practice you go to will be the ones who will be on call to deliver your baby. That being said if you get to the hospital and decide to fire your provider or if they don’t make it in time for delivery, most hospitals have a hospitalist there to deliver your baby. A hospitalist is a doctor that is there 24 hours a day to make sure everyone is safe. But if you don’t want the doctor or midwife at your practice to deliver you then I suggest you change practices.

      Great question! You'll actually call your doctor's office when you think you're in labor and they will tell you when you would go into the hospital. Once you get to the hospital, the nurse will call your doctor to let them know you're there and what's going on. That way you can just concentrate on breathing through those intense contractions!

      Ask as many questions as you want! 🥰😘 Depending on if you're in labor or why you came in they may admit you to the hospital or send you home. Being admitted to the hospital means you get your very own labor and delivery room, you'll be assigned a labor and delivery nurse and they'll monitor baby while you labor.

      Yes, you should go ahead and call your OB/GYN or midwife to make an appointment. The majority of women going to that kind of doctor are healthy and well, so as long as you wear a mask and wash your hands you'll limit your risk of getting anything. Keep in mind that while you're pregnant your immune system is suppressed, so you are more susceptible to getting sick. Avoid crowds, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently. Also, congratulations!!!

      Yes! Especially if your doctor or midwife had to attend a delivery. Then you're stuck waiting or they may even call to reschedule. If that happens you can always ask to just see someone else in the practice if possible, so you don't have to reschedule. It can be pretty frustrating when that happens, but just keep in mind one day you'll be the delivery they need to attend and some other pregnant Mama will be stuck waiting. 🥰💕

      Congratulations on your pregnancy! 6 weeks is early to see on an ultrasound especially by an emergency room technician since it's not their specialty. In pregnancy you are immunocompromised (meaning your immune system is low and makes you more exposed to getting sick), so it's best to stay away from the emergency room where there are a lot of sick people unless you truly have an emergency. That way you stay well and healthy and so does your unborn baby 👍🏼😘.

    • @PregnancyBirthParenting101
      @PregnancyBirthParenting101  4 года назад +2

      Great question! They usually only do a pap if it's been over a year since your last one. And the reason for a pap is to make sure there's no abnormal cells or infections. They look at your cervix on the ultrasound to check your cervical length. If it appears to be short then they'd want to keep an eye on it and monitor you because with a short cervix there's a higher risk of miscarriage or preterm birth.
