My first appointment was yesterday and it just reaffirmed my feelings about going to Lakewood, so I am really hoping my appointment on St. Patty's Day with the midwife goes well and I don't have to go back to this doctor again! First of all, they drew 12 vials of blood from me and almost made me pass out which wasn't very nice. The lady said, "Girrrl, one mo' second and you woulda been out!" Um, okay, maybe that means you should stop!?! They had to flip me over this shelf on the chair and put a fan on me. NOT FUN! I hope I don't have to give that much blood every time. Second, they don't give your first ultrasound until 18 weeks, which I know is probably somewhat standard but I do not want to wait that long. And third, they want us to start paying $106 a month until the baby is born and that does not cover the hospital stay or any ultrasounds or labs. I think free Lakewood is sounding better and better.
A couple other weird things that happened:
1. They made me sign a waiver saying that I would not take Bradley classes, and if I did, they would not see me anymore.
2. I asked the lady when my second appointment would be and she said at 11 weeks because, "That's when the baby's heart forms and you can't hear it before then." Okay, I'm no medical professional, but even I know that is just plain not even true! A little concerning.
