Anticipation

So tomorrow is my first official OB appointment. I admit I am seriously nervous about it. I think as a physician I have seen a lot of terrible things and I worry that they may happen to me. I remember in med school on my OB/GYN rotation these poor women who had miscarriages they didn't know about til we told them there was no baby. There were patients with children that just came out all wrong and we didn't know in advance....I know just enough and have just enough real experience to put myself into a tizzy. My husband fortunately is great and is trying (although not completely successfully) to calm my fears. Our current stance is that more data is needed before any conclusions can be made, so it would really just be a shame to worry so much. But now I guess I've gotten into a mode where nothing is going to fix this until I go to my appointment...I think I'm going to puke.
