Re: 1st OB visit! Went well :)

[Guest guest]

Isn't it wonderful to have such an understanding Doctor?? It makes

all the difference in the world! I am glad that he's going to watch

you so carefully - that's great!

Oh!! And won't it be great to be a member of the Century Club! I am

about 5 pounds from there myself - and LOL - I don't want to worry

too much about it now that I am pg - on the other hand, I am 7 weeks

pg and my weight hasn't moved!

Hi Trish,

I can't tell you what a releif it was talking to my OB yesterday, it

really was great. If any of you are near Delaware - email me and

I'll send you his information - it is WORTH IT!

I am not worried at all about losing weight right now but I think it

is going to happen regardless since I am so fresh out of surgery. I

thik I've lost about 25 lbs since getting pregnant.

Thanks & take care.
