First Appointments

Yesterday I had my first appointment over the phone and the OB made me feel very Heard. We talked about testings that were done during my previous delivery (5 months ago)that shouldn't have been done at the time due to me being so vulnerable/ in labor... They only tested me for that because they believe it contributed to my stillborn baby's death back in 2021 & I expressed if it was so serious they should have tested me two babies ago..... I don't need Extra worry or extra appts. I gave her the details surrounding my baby's death and she CLEARLY stated what I explained sounds 100% more accurate than any test could prove! We discussed Further Apts & what scheduling would look like this pregnancy (same as always) & when she got to the Gestation Diabetes testing part I Completely let her know That theres absolutely no reason a pregnant woman needs to drink a PROCESSED/ SYNTHETIC SUGAR drink in order to determine if she has gestational diabetes when there's Real FRUIT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT oF SUGAR... so I will not be drinking it... I will drink real juice or eat a couple fruits before I come in & she stated IM ONE SMART COOKIE, & that the OB for that day may not accept that but she's putting it in my notes. Ladies don't be scared to have a say so in your healthcare.. GET educated and don't let anyone walk over you.. Take your placentas home!
