First visit

September 18th I go to my ob gyn appointment, this is my first visit with him since my original gyn is in Brooklyn, but I don't live there anymore, I decided to find one closer to me on the island. I fill out the paperwork with all my personal and insurance info and patiently wait to see, well meet this dr for the first time.

They call me into the office, I'm told by his nurse, after informing her that I'm pregnant, to empty my bladder, change out of all of my clothes, put on the gown and drape... The dr would be right with me. I did just so and waited... Fake patiently. 

He finally comes in, introduces himself, and asks... "Who told you to come here? How did you find out about me?" The tone of the questions were off putting to say the least and my attitude automatically changed. I was ready to go... But I was already on his table. Then he starts with the usual questions, I told him I was pregnant, he asked how did I know... Another eyebrow raiser. I politely told him how I found out. He asked if I was keeping it... I said yes. "Well congratulations." He says. "Is this your first pregnancy?" I said yes. "Any miscarriages or abortions?" In my head... Cuz I'm a smart ass... I'm thinking: "if this is my first pregnancy, how could I have a miscarriage or abortion? I have never been pregnant before is usually what first pregnancy means right??" I simply said no to both. Lol.

He tells me I have to have a sonogram to see if everything is okay. I inform him I'm allergic to latex so they had to change everything. So he squeezed the gel on my belly and searches my uterus for the seedling. He informs me he sees nothing and acts concerned, then he does the transvaginal one and still finds nothing and shows signs of concern. He did find a cyst tho... Which he also seemed to be concerned about. He's getting on my already nervous nerves. 

He tells me to get dressed and that he wants with do bloodwork again to check that my hcg levels doubled from two days ago at the er, which came back 123. He leaves the room and his nurse tells me it's normal not to see anything and that they usually don't see anything really til 8 weeks. "By next week you'll see the egg sac then there'll be a little dot inside." She was more assuring than the dr. 

I go to his office and he expresses to me that he is concerned that it may be an ectopic pregnancy because my levels are so low or it could be a miscarriage, so he wants me to come back the next day. I didn't share the same concerns, I was pissed he was sprinkling negative energy on my pregnancy. Lol. So naturally I hate him already. BUT... Now that the seed of paranoia has been planted, I can't help but wonder. 

An appointment is set for Wednesday the 22nd.
