just called my 40 week pregnant sil and lied about why i needed an obgyn rec...

She's giving birth any day now, i'm sure as heII not going to steal her thunder in the slightest... i told her it was time for my yearly exam and i was unhappy with my old doctor. 

She didn't sound suspicious, so that's good.

    I'd prefer a rec from someone I know, especially a pg person, than a google search.

     I think she meant use Google to find a doctor not to use for medical advice on pregnancy.

    Good to see your pregnancy hasn't softened you at all.

    I still would prefer a doctor recommendation from a friend or family member rather than Google.

    Dobalina, that was a weird response to the OP.

    well yes, I understood that, but my sil likes her doctor, and I don't even have an obgyn in my current city, so I thought relying on her for a rec would still be better than google

    It is and Dobalina was being snarky.  I just thought you might have misunderstood.

    yeah, she's a d!ck, and I'm just not in the mood today. Generally I take snark with more grace and poise.

    I don't think pregnancies steal thunder. 

    they do when your BIL and SIL are 3 days away from having their first baby.

     I didn't comment in your other post bc everything was said but I just want to reiterate that you have lots of time before you need to discuss this with anyone, including your Mom.

    thank you. its especially hard for me to keep this from my mom. i feel ilk tim lying to her every time i talk to her on the phone. and I'm a terrible liar. I'm sure she already knows something is going on b/c the last 2 times i've talked to her i haven't said much, and i usually talk her ear off.

    the sad part is that H and i were not doing great a couple of months ago, and she probably thinks we're arguing again... which is obviously not the case.

  • I don't know if this helps at all (so tell me if it's not) but with my OB practice, when I called to tell them about my BFP they ordered bloodwork immediately to confirm the pregnancy.  I guess false positives happen more than one would think.  They didn't want an actual in office visit until about 8 weeks

    I don't know if the practice you'll be seeing does this but maybe wait and see the blood test results then take time to process it?

    I don't know if that is coming out right but I feel for you and just trying to offer  support where I can.

  • Hey I'm in Indy too.  Dr. Kristine Bolin is AMAZING!  I love her and have been through two challenging pregnancies with her.  She is great.
