Dr. Visit
Ok so today I have to drive to San Antonio to go to my first doctor visit. I can't wait. I am really nervous to see how things are going to turn out. The hospital that did my procedure with lil Anthony sent me a packet of concerns that the doctor should have with me. I read it and it said the patience that got pregnant at 15.1 months had more than a 50% chance of having complications (miscarriage, pre-term delivery, uterus rupture, hemorrhaging causing blood transfusion, and death) Well, I got pregnant at 16 months. Very scary. After reading all of the statistics I got very nervous. They said that if I would have waited the full 2 years there usually isn't any complications and you have normal birth. I really wish I would have waited. Anthony gave me a blessing before he had to go to work to help comfort me and bless that the baby would be ok. I am ready to see the high risk doctor now to see what he says and what the heck is going on. Wish me luck!

you'll be in our prayers, Liz Ann! I hope the doctor tells you everything should be fine. Good luck!
Doctors have to give you all of the possibilities. When we had to decide whether or not to get Daniel circumsized or not, you should have seen the list of all of the horrible, awful things that can/could happen during a circumcision. How many people do you know of though whose son actually had problems with the procedure? Maybe it's private, I guess :) Anyway, my point being that your pregnancy is earlier than they would have liked but the body is an amazing creation and can do amazing things. Worry when the doctors actually tell you that there's something to be worried about. If I had worried about all of the risks of a VBAC after 2 c-sections, I never would have done the San Antonio thing myself. Would I have been any better off for it? No, the result ended up (unfortunately) being the same, but you just need to deal with things as they happen not worry about what "might" be. President Hinckley says in his book Stand a Little Taller (on the entry for December 31), "I don't worry too much about the future, and I don't worry very much about the past. The past is gone, and you can't change, you can't correct it. The future, you can anticipate, but you can't necessarily do very much about it. It is the present you have to deal with. Reach out for every good opportunity to do what you ought to do." SO - be good, do what is right, and things will happen as they should. We'll pray for you and hope to hear an update soon!!!
Like my essay ;)
