Talking

Going to pre-conception checkup tomorrow!


Hey girls! Tomorrow I will be going for my pre-conception checkup. Can you guys think of anything special I should ask my doctor regarding TTC? I have been taking prenatal vitamins for about a month now, but I can't think of anything besides that.

Thoughts?

you should ask him aboif you are taking any medications etc maybe he can give you a list of what you can take (I forgot to get that one).

Also, I forgot to ask my doc what his views on birth where (and if they are ok with me). Now when i fall pg I will have to assess that from the begining....

Damn! Of course by the time I read your reply Alch, I had already gone to the appointment. I guess I'll need to ask about that when I have gotten a and am going in to confirm.

One thing my doctor did tell me is that there is a good chance that I would need to have a c-section, as my pubic bone sits very low, and probably wouldn't give enough space for a vaginal birth, unless we have a very small baby. That is ok with me and hubby - I am all for making sure our baby is safe, and wouldn't mind foregoing the lengthy labor process, even though I'd be in pain afterwards!

I'm not sure that we'd have a small baby, as my hubby was over 11 pounds when he was born! He was a TALL one, but the 5th and final out of 5 kids! I'm hoping a first baby won't be that big....

Hi Chillbilly! I was thinking and maybe you could ask what I forgot to ask about at my appointment! Maybe get a list of the medications that are acceptable to take during TTC and pregnancy? Other than that, I couldn't think of anything...
