Doctor's Appointment

I have good news and bad news... well for me anyway... Good news first!

So I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and I wasn't sure if I would be able to use the Doppler being that I'm on the plus size side. I've heard that if you're heavier the Doppler may not hear the heartbeat BUT... it did! The heartbeat was 152 beats per minute! Old Wives Tale says that if the heart beat is over 140 it's a girl and if it's under it's a boy. I didn't gain or lose any weight and I'm not at risk for diabetes or high blood pressure. Pregnancy is normal and great for now!

Now on to the bad news...

I asked my doctor if he would be the person to deliver me and he said no! I'm like "What! Why!! How do you know?" He said he was going to tell me but he will be moving to the west coast soon. Something about how his wife got a great job and he's leaving but he doesn't really want to. I'm so disappointed! He said my doctor would be from the same clinic and SHE's a great doctor. SHE!!!! I have had horrible (well not horrible) experiences with female gyn's. The ones I've come across have been so blunt and insensitive! It feels like they think that since have a hoo ha also we have to get over it! They are just so rough in my vagi region and they don't announce when they're about to do before they do it like the men! Well I'll give this new doctor a chance but as SOON as I'm uncomfortable with her I'm going to have to try someone else out!

Anyway, that's all that happened yesterday. Hopefully by the next appointment I'll find out the sex of the baby!
