I just realized I don't know what treatment Im receiving. I don't know If i have a Dr. Midwife or Ob-gyn. My appointments are at an army hospital and every appointment I have different people. I'm so confused
Thank you @jltaylor86 yeah i had no idea because all they did was make me fill out a paper saying if i preferred a dr or midwife and that was the last i heard about it
I say if you have a choice and you're not high risk. Go midwife, they're the best. Laid back, you're in control, very supportive. You should probably just speak up and ask the next time you're in for an appointment.
@thompsonofficial, I'm not sure about the midwife thing being on post and such. I'd ask at your next appointment if they have them available if that's what you're wanting. and yeah the visits are very impersonal ugh. hard when you're a first time mom. definitely ask as many questions as you need. they don't mind one bit.
@thompsonofficial, Madigan has midwifes and they're really great. I'm receiving midwifery care. You have to request to be put on their service though and they only take a certain amount of patients.
Before I found out we were having twins I had a midwife. They have midwives on post. But they don't do high risk so I see the same dr every time now. U can either call tricare and have them put a dr in the system for u and ill see that dr every time or Ull get a new one every time. If there is one u prefer. As for that dr when u boom ur appointments.
Thank you!! so if i wanted a midwife you have to go off post for one? and i i deff will this time! it's like you're in and out of these appointments. not really personal. @icedtia
@thompsonofficial, and ask lots of questions I didn't at first and I really should have. any questions you have between appointments I'd write down. I hope you can get the answers you need ☺
@thompsonofficial, just ask your next appt and they should point you in the right direction :)
I'm also on an army base in California. more than likely you are seeing an obgyn regularly. however I was told I could be referred off post to a place that still accepts tricare if wanted a midwife or something else.
Thank you! no one has said anything and every appt is pretty much summarizing the last one! ugh @icedtia
I'd make your preferences known if there's a certain one you like better. they'll listen to you. it's all about you and your comfort level ☺
Biggest Baby on BB
I know I don't have the biggest baby here but I know he's right up there.
This is my first pregnancy with a lot of complications. I have problems with my blood pressure and severe pains. I have a doctor appointment in the morning and my foot is super swollen to the point it looks like it's going to bust. I don't know what they usually do with feet that look like it's bout to bust and high blood pressure together. I will be 34wks and 4days tomorrow I really don't won't him to come early but I also don't won't to put him in danger either.
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
TMI Moment: I have yeast infections after all antibiotics they put me on. An it's getting very irritating. My next appointment not till 9/5 and I don't have ride to hospital. Any suggests ?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
you got it ❤
