6 Mo Checkup & Some News...

I had my 6 mo checkup with my awesome OB this morning.  Baby Boy is growing perfectly. I'm doing very well. I've only gained 9 lbs in the 23.5 wks and my doc is very happy with that.

Now for the news... I LOVE my OB so much!  We're moving 45 minutes away this weekend and I was totally planning on staying with her and having my baby in the hospital down here near her office so she can deliver.  But she dropped some news on me this am... She too is preggers!  She's due 3 days after me!  So she's not going to deliver my baby.  And she's probably not going to go back to work after having her baby either!  OY!  OK... so time to find a new OB up near my new home and find a hospital that I like.  OH... and my OB said that she's gained more weight than I have during pg. So that's good for me!

Great News..on your baby boy that is.....  Not so great about the OB.   I know here on Maui its tuff to find a Dr. you like.  Hope your replacement is just as good.  My OB did not deliver my first since she was not the one on call when I delivered.  I can tell you that the delivery Dr. is with you for a VERY short time - at least that is how it was for me.  I'm talking he didn't come in until the baby's head was coming out up until that point it was the nurses who did everything.  

Good luck! 

I guess that is the one perk of having a male OB, lol.  Did you ask her for any recommendations?  Maybe she knows of someone near your new place that she could refer you to.  That sucks having to find a new one at this stage of the game!  Glad to hear all is well though!

It sure does suck!  She doesn't know of any OB's in my new area, but did recommend a hospital that's 25 mins north of our house.  I have a friend that lives near our new place and she's got other mommy friends in the area.  I'll get recommendations from them.

Uhhh! I cannot wait to see pics of your little guy!!!

I am so happy for you! I wish I would have been able to stay that low on weight gain! I still have a bit to lose! Congrats again!

Congratulations on all the good news!
I know the feeling after my first daughter my OB left and I was so sad. Not sure if you are closer to Mountain View but the Altos Oaks Clinic at El Camino Hospital Rocks! And they are just upstairs from L&D I have ALWAYS gotten my Dr. to deliver, with my last baby she just ran downstairs and asked patients to wait! Love her!

Hey Mell. I'm in south SJ now but moving to San Leandro. So MV wouldn't work for me. But thx anyway.

Glad your little boy is growing well.  =)  Good luck finding a new ob~  I hope you find one that you love.   Good luck with your move also.

So glad that your pregnancy is going beautifully.   Nice that your OB is starting a new chapter but oh so sad too.  If it were me I'd be really happy for her but it would be hard for me so I am hoping that you are okay.

Many blessings to you Maryn

Hey Leila.  yeah I'm fine. I'm sad that I have to make an OB change, but it's not the worst thing.
