First GP Appt

Well today I had my first GP appt since the BFP, and I got a mix of what I wanted and what I didn't want out of the appointment.

The ToDo List

• get Rx for compression stockings
• get a referal for Dr. Mitenko (OB/Gyn)
• get an ultrasound req
• confirm pregnancy with a urine test
• get a req for bloodwork

I was only able to get the compression stockings and ultrasound req from her.  The appt was less than satisfactory.  At 5 weeks, i'm still approaching the topic cautiously and not getting overly too excited, but deep down I really want this!  This is basically how the first appointment unfolded:

• gave my hx
• ask about my menstrual period trend
• she gave me a req for a dating ultrasound (june 13)
• I asked for compression stockings (she gave me the Rx)
• I said I wanted a referral for an OB --- she said for me to "think about it" (WTF?!)
• told her I wanted to deliver at SPH, she replied "I deliver at SPH," and in my head I was like "get a clue, I want a freakin OB!"
• she took my blood pressure (120/80)
• asked me to make another appt in a month
• done

Anti-climatic in my opinion.  I wanted to pee on a stick, get blood work, get weighed etc etc.  but whatever!
