I had my annual with my new OBGYN (my old one who delivered K retired and this doctor took over the practice). I really like her. She seems to have the same philosophy on birth as I do (minimal intervention). The only thing that I didn't agree with was that she didn't want me to get pregnant while I'm breastfeeding. I don't have any plans to wean K soon, and I don't think that it's something I'm going to worry about. If I can get pregnant while breastfeeding, so be it and we'll continue as long as we both want to.
I did my cycle review with the PPVI nurse on Friday afternoon and they are going to talk to Dr. H and call me on Monday if there is anything in addition to doing the P+7 bloodwork that they want me to do. By the way, my P+7 levels this past cycle with K still nursing 6+ times a day were progesterone 21 and estrogen 16.4, which is pretty decent.
So glad you like your new OB! I agree with you - no worries about getting pregnant when b'feeding. We're cheering K along - go, K, go!!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely wouldn't worry about bfing while pregnant. MG was only 3 months old when I got ph with Hannah. I continued to bf her until 2 weeks before H was born (she weaned on her own). Granted my milk supply seriously suffered, we still did it. K is plenty old enough that if your supply tanks you won't have to supplement.
ReplyDeleteHope those teeth come in soon and she feels better!
