oh Dr. Bagdan, how i love you. How i wish you would take me on as a patient in your family practice.
so today was my official last appointment (until the next pregnancy - if that happens!) at the Low Risk Clinic in High River. i got to see my favorite doctor again - what a lady.
we had a long discussion about my physical, emotional, and social well-being. she reminded me that i'm Grace first, not wife or mom first, that i needed to take care of myself in order to be at my best as mother and wife.
easier said than done, but i will try.
i realize that even for Gemma's sake, i need to get out more, socialize more, meet other people, etc. in a few months, she will need to interact with other babies and so i will be forced to be social then. might as well ease myself into the scene as soon as i can....
but it's so hard. i'm so scared of people. i'm too afraid.
moving on.
physically, i've recovered quite well. i was having some pain around the pubic bone, especially when i lie on my side or cross my legs, but that turns out to be just the cartilage there going back to normal from when i was pregnant. stupid hormones.
and then she asked me about birth control. frankly, who has the time or the energy when they have a newborn to need birth control? anyways, if things continue to be well, we plan on trying for baby #2 later in the year, so don't think we need it. as dr. bagdan says "then i recommend you do nothing for contraception". lol.
i'm gonna miss that clinic and its doctors and staff. thank you ladies. you've been amazing.
