My First Doc. Appointment!
Posted: 06-06-04 17:38pm

Tomorrow is my first doctors appointment. Im scared. I hope I like my doctor. I just really dont want to go. I feel ashamed cause im so young and im pregnant. I dont want people to look at me. I really hope the doctor is nice and doesnt make me feel stupid. I know im pregnant, I took two tests, I havent had my period and i've never missed a period before, and I have morning sickness, but what if I took a test and I wasnt? That would be weird but I dont think it will happen. But I have been spotting a lot so who knows.

Haha I felt the same way, all paranoid that maybe I wasnt preg at first. But dont worry about ur age, im positive ur doctor has had other young patients liek you,, and doctors see all sorts of people, they cant possibly judge. Have u asked the doctor about the spotting? How longs it been going on? Im sure everythings prolly ok but thats kinda scary I dont know why u would be spotting.. Anyhow, let us know how it turns out! And dont worry, the docs appt will be cool, especially if u get to hear the heartbeat. How far would u be again? The only part I didnt like was the papsmear, but its part of bein a girl*

Kari is right. Calm down and go. Things will go great and your doc should not judge you. I am sure you aren't his first "teen" patient. Just be clam and work with your doc and if you don't like him/her you have the option to change docs.
Love,

I was terrified when I first when in to make sure I was really pregnant, I sat there practically praying that the first test was wrong and that I wasn't pregnant and that everything would go back to normal. And when the doctor told me it was positive the only thing I could think was “wow this guy must think I am a promiscuous person or something”. I mean how many 13 year olds do you think he had come in and be pregnant you know? But he didn’t judge me and neither did my ob-gyn, they just gave me the best advice they could. It is normal to be scared and want to throw up and to shake, nothing we say with ease that, but just know that everyone goes through that- even married women who plan their pregnancies- like my sister! Let us know how it goes!
