First OB appt. OMG haha
I had my first OB appt today with my new OB. I really like her! I was just released from my RE to a regular OB. My DH is really sick with a salivatory gland infection. Random, I know. He was put on antibiotics and pain meds at the urgent care last night. He came to the appt. this morning and was so out of it! He threw up once in the bathroom in the waiting room before my appt. Then at the end of my appt during my mini ultrasound he threw up in the sink in the exam room! Right in front of me and the doctor! OMG I was SOOOOOO embarrassed! Poor guy :(
Anyway, we got to hear the baby's heart beat with just a regular doppler! It was the best sound ever! Then my doctor used a little hand-held ultrasound device so I could see the baby moving around. It was really hard to see what exactly I was looking at because the screen was so small (like the size of a cell phone) but also because of the nasty barfing in the background! It really eased my mind though :) Because of my high anxiety and primo treatment at my RE's office, my OB is going to see me once per week for the next few weeks to check on the baby and ease my mind. She suggested it! I feel a little silly, but oh well! Oh, and I have a freaking pimple on my lady bits. I don't remember that ever happening before. So embarrassing :(

WOW!! That was an eventful day for you and your poor hubby!! I hope he feels better very quickly. I can imagine it's a pretty sucky thing to deal with.
Super awesome you got to see your baby bean on the tiny screen and hear the heart beat!! EEEEK! Let your new doc take care of you and prove herself :) You deserve it!!! As for the pimple on your bits...it might a PCOS boil thing. I got one when I was preggo with my son..OW! It hurt and it came back a few times over the next few years too. I learned at a pcos board that heat helps. So I sat on the hottest ho****er bottle I could stand(on a towel) and it made the thing burst..Immediate relief! Gross+ embarrassing, yes...but I would rather feel better! LOL
Good luck!! And congrats on liking your new OB! Always a good thing!
