Focus on Keeping Too IN...
Okay, so now my attention is turned to keeping this baby in until at least the 15th. Doable, I think, given my history with Ben and NEVER having any real signs of labor even the day before my due date and all. Also working in my favor, all of the dating ultrasounds have put my due date at May 21st, though I have kept it the 19th on all my tickers because I couldn't bear to move it up two days. And plus, it cooberates with the fertility chart I was keeping back in the day.
I don't have any signs that labor is imminent right now anyway... no major contractions, no mucus plug sightings (gag!!), none of that fun stuff.
I NEED for my doctor to be in town to deliver this baby because the doctor covering for her on the 13th and 14th? Is a MAN. I DO NOT WANT A MAN DOCTOR!!!! I went to great lengths to find a sole practioner who was NOT A MAN. Also, he's a doctor I've never heard of or met. Who wants that?
Some of Too's family will be out of town this coming week as well, so of course it'd be nice to hold off until they are home. (though, for the hundredth millionth time, it's fine if they aren't! They need one last vacation to gear themselves up for their own upcoming addition!!) :)
There is also Mother's Day, which, until I found out my doctor was going out of town, I thought would make a good day for a birthday. Now I just want to enjoy our usual Mother's Day plans that involve a yummy lunch and dinner out! :D

I'm in agreement with you on the entire man-doctor thing. Especially in the OB/GYN department. At my practice, most of the docs are women.
Another reason for us to go into labor at the same time: I can just send my doc down to you whenever you need her. (Plus it's just her...not her funky staff...which has gotten better these days anyway.)
See, now why couldn't Dr. Rawtani be Dr. Aziz's backup? I KNOW they know/like/are friends with each other... ARGH ARGH ARGH. For awhile, I think her backup was Dr. Allen (Allan?) who comes highly recommended by my neighbor... that would have been FINE. But strange man? NO WAY! I'll cross my legs for 48 hours and breathe through contractions if I have to!
i love my male doctor! he's as gentle as you can be doing what he needs to do and i'm totally at ease with him. i used to only want a woman icky doctor, but then when i actually went to one she was rough and i was uncomfortable with her. it's been men ever since.
go may 15th! :)
go may 15th! :)
Hmmm...seeing as I've only been to Dr. Rawtani, I have nothing to compare her to, but yeah, she should be your doc's backup. Maybe you should make mention of that to your doctor! :-)
I heart Dr. Rawtani. She and Don were joking back and forth at the appointment today. I like that she's pretty easy going and has a sense of humor...And since my mom used to go to her back in the day, she says Dr. Rawtani's accent has gotten 1000 times more understandable! :-)
