Thanks, sisses for your thoughts regarding the "behave" days ni baby.

Konting kwento. Just got home from our OB appointment and sinabi ko yung kicking behavior ni baby. Sabi nya, it's normal for the baby to behave like this since baby is really small pa daw and constantly changing position. It is possible na si baby daw is nakatalikod sa tiyan ko kaya di ko maramdaman yung kicks nya. Kanina nga, natagalan (than usual) siya mahanap yung heartbeat ni baby. Usually kasi, pagkadampi na pagkadampi nya ng doppler sa belly ko, rinig na kagad namin yung heartbeat nya.
Medyo sad lang ngayon. It's our 3rd visit kay OB and mas nakilala namin siya today. Wala siyang nabanggit about OGTT ko or anti-tetanus injection (kung kelan ako kukuha). She likes to limit our talks based on our gestational age lang. Like, since we're entering 22 weeks, hanggang dun lang yung gusto nya pagusapan ~ mga need iwasan or i-take na vitamins at food. When I asked about something na advance sa stage ko, she'll gently brush me off. Sasabihin nya, "we will get there". And when I ask kung may mare-recommend siyang birthing classes (kasi walang offer sa LPDH and the information said na itanong na lang kay OB yun), parang na-offend siya. Nag-explain na we really don't need to attend na since kaya daw may monthly appointment sa kanya, para siya ang tanungin. Sila rin naman daw ang magto-talk sa mga ganung seminar. Gusto ko nga sana umattend ng birthing class to set our expectation since this is our first pregnancy. Lastly, when I asked for her number in case of emergency, sabi nya, hindi daw siya nagbibigay ng number. Sa dami daw kasi ng patients nya, mahirap na daw magbigay ng payo or solution through phone. And ayaw na ayaw nya daw na may magte-text or call sa kanya para lang mag-ask if safe daw kumain ng talong tapos she's in a middle of a meeting or tulog. Kahit nga daw mga relative nya, hindi nya sinasagot mga tawag.

Sabi ko, pano in case of emergency na need ng immediate attention? Sabi nya, what she always tell her patients is pumunta sa emergency room if may emergency sila. If need daw talaga siya, yung resident OB na daw ang tatawag sa kanya. Yung ibang OB daw, kaya nagbibigay ng number nila is because they are trying to connect to their patients and build reputation pero siya daw, di na nya kailangan yun. I know she's good. But, I have this feeling na most likely, hindi siya personally ang magaasikaso sa akin when the time come. Eh di ba, kahit wala yung OB mo sa delivery date mo, babayaran mo pa rin sila. She quoted 55k for NSD at double daw if CS. Parang na-out of love na ako sa kanya...
Gusto ko magpalit ng OB. What about you guys? If ganito situation nyo, will you switch OB? She's our 2nd OB. Yung unang OB, umalis kami kasi she hardly saw us sa 2 appointments namin. Nung 1st, late siya and since madami nakapila, minadali nya yung consultation. Nung 2nd, hindi nya talaga kami naharap although kinausap ako sa phone para makuha nya yung health care slip. Then sa elevator, nakasalubong namin siya pero naturally, di nya kami nakilala.
Sorry sa long read. We're happy that our baby is doing fine. Medyo disappointed lang kasi medyo hindi kami nagco-connect ng OB namin, which is very important to me.
