Thank you for all the thoughts and replies last night and today.

I... did not call the doctor. I kept making excuses and telling myself I'd do it later. And later turned into not doing it. Idk what's wrong with me. I cry and freak out but i can't make a simple phone call. I hate anxiety.

My sister told me to give her the number and she'd call and I almost let her.

I'm ridiculous, I know.

You're not ridiculous! I have a super phone phobia even when here is nothing stressful going on. (Hug)

+1 I hate making phone calls for any reason lol. I chose my dentist & dog groomer based on the fact I could schedule appointments online haha. But now my dentist doesn't do that anymore so that sucked.

It's OK to be scared to make the call notmoose. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

notmoose if you're not feeling better by tomorrow, to ease your mind, I would have your sister or H call. It's the OB's job to take care of you and this is causing you a lot of anxiety. Hugs.

notmoose if it feels overwhelming to call, then 100% have your sister do it. I also get a lot of anxiety about that sort of thing and have had MH call for me... and also my mom.

ETA: It is also totally reasonable to wait until after the appointment next week if that feels like the right decision.

Idk what feels like the right decision honestly. The doctor doesn't seem worried at all, so I feel like he'll think I'm ridiculous for asking for an ultrasound. Everyone just keeps telling me everything is fine or it'll be okay... so I keep wondering am I just being crazy? Should I really not be worried? Idk.

I think that you are definitely not crazy. I also think that it is normal to not hear the HB on the Doppler in your 10th week, which is probably why your doctor is not concerned. But, FWIW, if it were me, I would request an ultrasound. I know where you're coming from though. I've had to call my OB's office a couple times this pregnancy and I'm always nervous that they will think I'm THAT person. But at the end of the day, I have called anyway. MH always convinces me to (or convinces me to let him!). If it's something you are so nervous over that you are getting that sinking, sick feeling over it, then I would say it's definitely worth a call. If you feel like you can wait until Monday without being sick with worry, then I would wait it out.

Can someone remind me how to get the stupid "posted from my Samsung Galaxy" whatever to go away from my posts? I looked once and it was not glaringly obvious but it is really annoying me and I want it gone.

Big hugs notmoose. It's so stressful when you don't have answers. I had to call my midwives' after hours line (which is a cell one of them carries with them) and I cried at my next appointment because I was so embarrassed that I called. They told me that that's what they are there for, but it doesn't make it any easier. I hope you get reassurance soon!

So ya'll, I suck at keeping up here. Please still let me hang out with you!
DS slept until 9 am this morning and he would have kept going, but I had to wake him up to leave. Then he took a 2.5 hour nap and still went to bed on time. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'll take it.
We went to a huge church consignment sale today. I was hoping to get a pnp for this baby since I just borrowed one with DS, but all the ones they had were terrible. I got some clothes for DS and two maternity dresses, but the biggest score was the amount of cars I got for DS. He's obsessed and now has like 20 matchbox cars and two motorcycles. I love seeing him so happy and only spending $5.

DS has been asking to nap on me. I think he's just getting too big (physically) for this *sniff* He doesn't understand being careful of mommy's tummy and he put a bit too much pressure on me a couple times and now I'm achy. He's now in his crib because I had enough trying to get him to lay down. How do I get it through to a two year old that he can't put too much pressure on me???

Dylan uses my stomach as a step stool sometimes so I feel your pain. I tell her that it hurts mommy and to be gentle but she either ignores it or doesn't understand so she continues to step on me or sit on my stomach which doesn't feel good. I'd be interested to hear any tips anyone has for curbing it now before I get bigger.

The only thing that has worked with my two is every time they are too rough with me is immediately putting them down and saying "ouch! Too rough!" In a stern voice. If they stick around I'll say something about the baby being in my belly. The 3 year old kind of gets it, the soon to be 2 year old does not.

+1 to phone phobia. I also choose services I use based on if they have online booking or ordering. My sister who works in collections for a credit card company tells me how ridiculous I am on a regular basis. She reminds me they aren't going to yell at me like the people she has to call.
