I don't mind the idea of doing the labor and delivery tour, but I see that as more of a hospital tour, I get to learn where I need to go, I get worried when I don't know where to go. I do really want to talk to a doc though, 1 to get a due date, and 2 I got a tetanus shot a couple weeks ago and I'm a little worried about it now that I know I'm pregnant. It's probably OK but I know tetanus is one of those "only if the need outweighs the risks" kinda things for pregnant women. Though I might actually take them up on the flu shot this year since I'm going back to school. The last thing I need this semester is to get sick, though I've never actually had the flu before. I'm hoping to keep even the back to school "crud" at bay. I bought little soaps for in my backpack JIC the bathroom is out of soap and I got little tissues too.
Annoying. Doesn't really make sense either to only let you see a doc after this seminar.tealsphynx said:Thanks guys! Growing up in the military hospital system I atleast know what to expect. I just want to know when I'm due, but I can't do my first appt until after I do this stooopid seminar.

It's an Army CYA thing. they don't want a bunch of pregnant women bitching that "Well no one ever TOLD me that!" It's easy to cast blame when you don't "know" and it's easy not to "know" when you're not "told" so they're making sure everyone gets told. I'm hoping they're OB/GYN clinic isn't full of slow don't know how to book appointments idiots like Tripler was. When I was 36 weeks pregnant they were supposed to book the rest of my appointments in weekly succession all at one time so that I wouldn't get caught in the "well the next appointment we have is in 4 weeks" thing.....my doctor had to schedule me herself because they're booking people were ID-10T's. Yeah, I'm also hoping to actually get admitted into the midwife team so I can have a delivery without hearing "Tell her she needs an epidural, I can "feel" it with this one, it's going to be an emergency C-section" Pththththt. I did it all on my own faster than a first time pregnancy should have gone and without drugs (Ok, I did get a local anesthetic for the episiotomy, but I didn't want to feel my slit being made bigger....OUCHIE) Ok, so enough pregnancy bitchingchris9 said:
I can't use those. My LMP was June 8...atleast that's the last time I know that it was my period and not just my "oops I missed a pill" bleeding. and I can't be 2mo pregnant, I've been doing peestick tests since the end of july. I'm guessing I'm between 4-6 weeks, but they need to do either hormone blood level tests or an ultrasound to tell how far I am.dixicritter said:Try this.... Due Date Calculator

@ The Army system
Thank you so much. Keeping those words in mind does me good.@}-}rebecca---- said:Chin up Etoile your one of the very special people who grace the Boards here. I have empathy for your being upset. I have seen you mediate here between others in a non selfserving and astute manner . You do not deserve to be treated in a way that would make you feel abused by anyone.
If your ever feeling firey over it remember karma

) Anyway, yeah so poor poochie was apperently a bit more than a little tummy upset today. My halway was COVERED in doggy runs. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Draggie was a gentleman and cleaned the solid parts of the mess and then when he got to gaggy I pulled out the mop and the bleach. It was soooooooooo nasty, I think I will be having nightmares about dog shit now.
