Meeting Dr. Boykin

Today at 9:30am we met the woman who is to be our OB throughout the pregnancy! She is located in the same office as all of my other doctors, so we go straight there and wait until we are called. Fill in the required paperwork - all of which is the same everywhere, I am going to start making extra copies!

Finally we get back out the office, and I do the regular office visit, pee in a cup, pap smear and all of the lovely things a normal gynecological exam requires. And then on to the good stuff!

She gives me my bloodwork results, tells us my HcG levels are high enough to be 10 - 12 weeks pregnant, but it would not be abnormal to be less. She then sets up the appointment for us to go the Woman's Center at St. Agnes Hospital to have our first sonogram - in just a week!

This appointment left me wanting to know more! I expected a ton of, do this, don't do that... This is good, this is bad, and yet I got nothing but wait and talk to the MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine) specialist after your sonogram... So we wait impatiently...
