Okay, I LOVE my OB.
 

I told SO that if I could have designed an OB, he is exactly what I would have made. :lol

Friday was my first appt where I actually got to meet the high risk doctor in the OB practice I chose. He did my nuchal fold screen on Friday and he is just so incredibly wonderful. :love

He is one of the few doctors I have had lately who took the time to read my chart and understand what was going on before he even got in the room. He knew exactly what I was talking about when I brought up the uterine issue I have, and knew my history perfectly. He and I talked for a very long time about risks and strategies, etc.

Basically, he said that most of the patients he saw with unicornuate uterus (yay! he's seen others!) carry to 34-35 weeks with no real problem. He'll be monitoring my cervix heavily starting at 22 weeks and seeing me every week at 26 weeks since that's when fetal weight gain really takes off. He checked the growth percentile I am in and reassured me that everything looked okay and that I was in a good percentile and that everything looked great so far. He was confident, reassuring, and very gentle about explaining everything to me, and he kept using my name and touching my stomach (I was laid out on an u/s table) and leg to emphasize his points.

:love I am so, so happy that he's so awesome.

The NT screen was fabulous, btw, and my risk of Down's is like 1:10,000 and risk of other trisomy issues are 1:15,000. But more importantly, we got to count fingers and toes, and see the brain and other features we hadn't had a chance to see before.

We also got to see the baby sucking his thumb and right at the end of the ultrasound, he mooned us. :lol

I'm glad you're happy with your OB! That's wonderful.

Sounds like you have an awesome doc Callie.

:ymca

So you know for sure it's a boy-child? Boy children RAWK :heart

So it is a boy? How did I miss that:lol? Congrats callie I'm so glad you have a great doc.

:lol No, we're just assuming since more than 50% of kids born as a result of fertility treatments are boys. :lol Something having to do with male sperm swimming faster and the precise timing of ovulation, etc.

oooooo.....how many weeks are you now? When do you find out?

Callie, that is great news!! I'm so glad you got see fingers and toes. This is a time when you really need someone you can trust and love, and I'm glad your Ob is proving to be up to par!

I'll only be 14 weeks on Thursday. :lol But we are not finding out the sex. We (well, okay, I am the one who feels strongly) want something to be a surprise. :love

Your OB sounds wonderful! I'm glad you had such a great appointment. :love

Some of us want to shop and buy cute canukistan clothing for your child. Can I have your OB's # :?

:clap That sounds so great. I am so excited that you've found an OB who will be so attentive to your issues. Congratulations!

Also, I'm really glad the baby is healthy, but I'm terribly disappointed that you won't be finding out the gender. Bother. :lol
