A cousin of mine ended up in the hospital for emergency surgery this week with an ectopic pregnancy. SCARY. Especially since I had a terrible pinching pain on only my left side last Sunday, and now whenever I get what I think is gas I only feel it on my left side. Is this why people get ultrasounds so early in their pregnancies? Because I thought it was just to guess how far along the woman was (I already know the answer to that since I was TTC, so I haven't bothered with an ultrasound yet). Of course I meet zero of the criteria for a risk of an ectopic pregnancy, so I'm being silly.
I think I should go ahead and pick a backup OB, but I have NO IDEA how to go about doing that, so I was just going to wait and talk to my midwife about it at our appointment on Feb 8th. I know I have to get her to write a referral if I want to get an ultrasound, but she will do all the blood work herself.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Ash and I found another baby consignment shop on University drive, with really awesome prices and a really large selection! It's called "Baby Bear". It was the first time Ash and I had gone shopping for stuff together, so it was nice to get a feel for what kind of things he liked and what he didn't like. He doesn't like prints. ANY PRINTS. Not even cute animals prints. I couldn't even get him to go for stripes, but he did find a tie-die onsie he really liked (see picture). The rest of the ones he picked out were plain, brightly colored onsies. There was also a full set he wanted but it was for about an 18 month old (sweater vest with button up and khaki shorts) so we didn't get it. We spent about $14 and we got 8 pieces. The tie-die one was the most expensive, at $5.
Some of these baby things are sized by month, some by pound, some by sm/m/lrg..... how are you supposed to compare them? Holding them up to each other only works sometimes, since brands vary. How old is a baby that weighs "13-18 lbs"? How much are they assuming your baby weighs if the shirt says "3-6 months"?
