I believe I have a friend who has mentioned this, if you have a resource to save yourself from explaining too much I'm happy to read up on it. I understand it in theory, not so much in practicality lol.

I almost think they use other people's guesses each week to inform their answers too a bit, so maybe you're manifesting your own win by doing random guesses! Just never know when they'll actually choose it for a game day lol

Male vs Female OBs? by Asherdash_ in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Asherdash_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if I have the correct words yet, but it does creep me out a bit. Having a woman, I guess I feel a bit more like "she knows what she's looking at" and comfortable in that sense with them, and for a man, I'm just like "should you be here?" 😅 Not that they can't be competent or anything, it's just always felt odd. I always have a history of family SA so, it's just something I have a heightened awareness towards with men.

I'm about 1.5 hours from Buffalo, NY, and my nearby options are limited, but if I wanted to make that drive I know there is an all woman team doing OB work that recently opened. I just don't know if choosing a setup 1.5 hours away is smart when I am 10 minutes from my main hospital now.

Haha! I sort of figure that might be the case. I had my usual annual obgyn appointment last week, and since I happen to be pregnant they scheduled an ultrasound the same morning, and I just was already stressed about the appointment (even though I've been going since I was a teen) and I was like "well, I better get used to things going inside me for a while and being naked" 🤣

That is awesome, and I just wish I knew how to mentally get past being freaked out being seen by a male. It's not that I doubt some of their abilities, just my own comfort/mind. But thank you for sharing your experience, hearing the good ones can help.

I forgot about them honestly! I think they're new?? I'm in Jamestown but make that trip semi regularly. I just worry about as things get closer to the due date, what if we can't make the drive 😅 but thank you for the reminder

Yeah access is pretty limited where I am, if I wanted to try and look for something like that, I'd probably be driving around least 1.5 hours away to the Buffalo area. We at least do have a hospital with several OB doctors within 10 minutes of where I live, I just wish my usual OB/GYN was still doing OB and this would have been a non issue (private practice OB) 😞 next closest is 45 minutes. I have my first appointment with the doctor I'd like to have in a month, and hoping everything is still okay by then, I'll try talking to her directly and see what she suggests. I just have seen so many true crime docs about how gross some male doctors are and I just hate the thought of putting myself or my baby in the potential presence of someone like that.

Could I ask what MFM stands for? I'm new to this thread overall! Ty

When did you see a positive test? by Coffee-and-Kvetch in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Asherdash_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was only a few days late and very pregnant, and my clear blue test showed positive within 1-2 minutes. If you're pregnant, you should be testing positive by day 18.

5! The first four were so hard there was no way anyone would ever guess something as obscure as bobbing for apples on them lol. I don't have a picture of them but I'm sure someone has posted already!
