[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 171150, member: 1697"] I copied all that in quotes exactly how it appeared, all the punctuation etc is how it appears in paperwork. Interesting to note, easy child had been on oral birth control for over a year, but never had any physical exam by gyne......then she did home preg test, it was positive, docs nurse saw her for first appointment, noone examined easy child, just did labwork......easy child had a WIC appointment already, and met with WIC health care team, who also did NO exam of ANY kind.....simply blood pressure, weight, height at all appts so far, and easy child had a 2nd doctor appointment this week due to the serious nausea vomiting etc, but still noone has done more than just take her blood pressure and weight anywhere. doctor said she thought she might do first exam maybe in about 2 months? Altho an ultrasound is scheduled for next week. easy child missed no monthlies. At the moment due date is set as Feb 22. The morning sickness hit 10 days ago.
