Some of you may know that I have had a Dicken’s of a time with doctors during this pregnancy. My regualr doctor before I got pregnant was in Glendale, which is way too far a drive from Anaheim when one is pregnant. So I got a recommendation of someone who was very close to my house, and went to him for the first about 12 weeks, or so. I really didn’t like him at all, so I asked friends for recommendations, and found a practice in Long Beach. Not exactly our backyard, but not as bad as Glendale, and if they were nicer/better doctors, then well worth it! So I picked a doctor in that practice (there were 4, 2 recommended specifically to me.) I tried to get an appointment with either of the 2 that my friend recommended, but they were booked, so I chose Dr. Agnelli. She was great, and helped me pick the hospital where I wanted to deliver. Then a couple appointments later, she informs me that they are no longer delivering babies at that hospital. *sigh* So I picked a different hospital, then at the next appointment, she informed me that she was switching practices to one that’s downstairs. So off to a different doctor- enter Dr. Silverman. She was even better than Agnelli- very patient, and kind, and ready to answer all my questions. Well, I was very excited about her being the one to deliver my baby, and she was one of the 2 that were originally recommended to me! At my last appointment, however, she informed me that she is moving to Connecticut- the next week. So now Silverman is gone, and they moved me on to Dr. Mackovic. She’s the head of the practice, and they assured me that she isn’t going anywhere. I had my first appointment with her today, and I really like her, too. Incredibly sweet, and wants to make sure you understand everything. She encourages you to ask questions, and the best part was when she did the dopler thing to hear Jordan’s heartbeat, she got all excited about it and was saying things like, “Isn’t just so special to hear that?”. She sounded like she was as excited as I was to hear the heartbeat. That was so neat. She’s been an OB for 25 years, and she got excited to hear my baby’s heartbeat. So I’m really looking forward to having her around, and I hope she’s the one that will deliver my baby. She said that everything is looking great with me, and the size of the baby and everything, and she also said that the baby’s head is down, so she’s “ready to go”. She hasn’t dropped yet, but she’s in the right possition. I just hope she doesn’t flip! She was “head-down” at the 4D ultrasound, too, so hopefully she is now too big to flip at the last minute. Also, I get to have another unltrasound on Thursday! Yeah! She wants to check the baby’s weight and make sure everything is progressing properly. So I will post again after that but won’t have any results really until my next appointment with Mackovic on July 11.
