Strep B Culture exam

I had blood test and my strep B culture exam last visit and I felt like I'm a guinea pig. A senior nurse was supervising the nurse who was doing the blood test! when the more experienced nurse asked her if she did a strep culture before the younger one said not yet so the senior nurse said to her I'll show you how it's done! (they were discussing it as if I'm not in the room or I could not perfectly understand them! Maybe because I'm Asian). The senior nurse left for a while while the younger one took at least 2 vials of blood for the blood test. After a while the senior one returned and demonstrated while the younger one looked on. The situation is done and over in seconds but awkward enough already without a third person looking on but what can I do? I definitely am looking for another clinic for my next pregnancy!

Baby Shower

Today, my co-teacher organized a baby shower for me! It was a very nice surprise! She was so very creative, from the presentation of the food to the decorations! My husband was commenting about her talents when I was unpacking the tables' centerpieces that she arranged out of disposable diapers, milk bottles and safety kit ! Everything was deliciously done! I was very overwhelmed! My colleagues are very nice! My baby would have more than enough cute baby clothes! And even though I'm breastfeeding, we could use the milk bottles and the breast pump when I have to leave the baby with my husband when I am attending graduate classes this coming school year.

Sonograms

I'm now in my 36 weeks of pregnancy! I'm also having sonograms every visit to my OBGYN and or midwife! I wonder if all these sonograms are necessary! Both of them are telling me that it does not really hurt my baby! But how well do they know? What is true today may not be true in the future! Aside from that I don't know if I'm very sensitive but I can feel the prick of current from the probe when the sonographer is doing it!

Sonograms

I'm now in 36 weeks of pregnancy. I am having sonograms every visit! I wonder if all these frequent sonograms are necessary? My midwife and OBGYN are telling me that it really does not affect my baby but what is true today may not be true in the future! How well do they know anyway?!!!
