Went to the doctor this morning. I have been spotting for a week now, but not bleeding. Had a transvaginal ultrasound. I was 4 weeks, 5 days by date of conception, well within the time frame for the abortion pills.
So yah. Good for me. No scary, painful, dangerous surgical procedure.
There were activists on the corner, apparently there every Friday, with signs that said abortion after 8 weeks is murder. I had to laugh. *shrugs*
There was a woman in the office complaining the doctor doesn’t “do” inductions any day but wednesday, and wed. didn’t work for her. I bit my lip and didn’t tell her the baby would come when the baby was ready.
The woman said if there were any problems, to call the office, not go to the hospital b/c the hospital would give me shit. I told her politely that I didn’t even want to birth my babies in the hospital, so not going was not an issue. I did say it loud enough the woman complaining about induction could hear me.
Maybe I am a hypocrite. I don’t think so. My dreams tell me that this baby would have had many problems. I never had dreams like that with the other two Maybe it was my head convincing me of that so I didn’t feel bad about my choice.
I will go in 2 months to get an IUD. If we decide to have another baby (I’d really rather adopt) it is easy to remove and shouldn?t cause long-term (or short-term for that matter) problems.
Oh, and because I am O-, I had to sign a waiver stating I knew the risks of not getting the RhoGam shot, didn?t plan on more babies, blah blah blah??? Fucking medicine. Don?t get me wrong. I am glad it is there when I need it, but useless preventative shit? Women wouldn?t even need the RhoGam shot if doctors would leave birth alone, not pull on the cord to get the placenta out, nick the baby doing an amnio, or about a million other ways to make the blood cross.
BTW, I did have half the shot w/ Dorian, didn?t get the second half after birth, didn?t have it at all with Malachai and I am not rh-sensitized.
