rivkaMy primary care doctor can't see me until Wednesday. Instead, I've called the midwife practice my landlady recommended. The receptionist was so nice - she congratulated me twice, and offered to answer my questions when I told her I was nervous about going a month without being seen. She also checked to make sure that I understood they were CNMs, not physicians, and set me up with an appointment for the 8th week. That seems so far away! I want someone to see me right now and tell me that everything will be okay.
Here's what she told me:
- I should keep taking my regular multivitamin, but add a folic acid supplement. "We want you to get most of your vitamins from food."
- I should keep exercising normally, especially water aerobics, but shouldn't start anything strenuous and new.
- Cimetidine is totally fine to take during pregnancy, praise Jesus.
- If I miscarry now, I'll already probably need a RhoGAM shot. Better to have it and not need it, I guess.
I can still hardly believe it. Pregnant. Holy cats.
