Obstetrician Appointment

I had my first OB appointment this morning and I'm feeling very relieved that all is going well so far. I am so very happy with my choice of OB & hospital. They are both very pro choice and low intervention which I really need after my last induction birth. My last birth has really scarred me when it comes to thinking about another birth, but the midwife has started helping me already and is confident that she can help get me into a better headspace before my next birth. She was so lovely and full of information and support. The actual OB is wonderful as well, he has a very relaxed and friendly nature and was very reassuring after knowing my situation. He is actually an IVF specialist as well which I guess would help with understanding the kinds of emotions that go along with such treatment.

We also got to see the baby again which was just wonderful. I was so nervous going into the appointment, but felt so much better after seeing that the baby had been progressing well. It's now actually starting to look like a baby and we got to see it moving around. Such a wonderful experience. And even with this being my second pregnancy, it's still so hard to believe that there is an actual baby inside me right now.
