Love: The Right Doctor

Well we took about six months to enjoy each other, because let's face it....it's been a rough two years.  We got married, pregnant, and miscarried twice and it just seemed like the world was moving at lightening speed.  Slowing the pace down and just living life as a newlywed coupled seemed like the most logical thing to do.  However, in the back of my mind I kept saying that we are gonna try again and I am going to find a doctor that will be just right and get us a baby.  I know what my problem is now and I have to find a doctor who specializes in patients like me.

My sister recommended me to her doctor who delivered my nieces, but she did not accept my insurance.  However, there were other doctors in her circle that did and were rated just as good.  I had two male doctors to choose from that were considered part of the high risk doctors at The Woman's Hospital.  I sat at my computer and stared at these two men like, which one will be the best for me.  It literally came down to me doing an eeny meeny miney mo! SERIOUSLY!! I couldn't decide and that just seemed like the best way at the time. (I know....don't laugh:)).  So my luck landed on Dr. Phillip Pinell.  He was smiling in his picture and had a nice warm feeling about him through the picture.   So I called his office and made an appointment for a consultation.  I was nervous and anxious but just hopeful that he would give me good news!

I went to my appointment and was worried that he may say, we'll try but I am not promising you any miracles.  Well....the complete opposite happened.  He was so uplifting and positive that it made me want to go home that day and try to see if we could have a baby.  He told me that my condition was very common and he's delivered tons of babies to moms with an incompetent cervix.  He informed me that at 12 weeks he would perform a cerclage and after that I should be good to go.  Light duty and pelvic rest and a baby will be mine at the end.  He spoke softly and held my hand to reassure everything will be okay.  I went home and told Barry, and he was nonchalant about it (although he's like that all the time), but this time it was of a "I don't want to go through this again."

So as I said earlier, we took a break to let my body heal and get my mind back in the right place.  We took a "real honeymoon" vacation and enjoyed each other!  After our mini vacation, I was ready to try again! I found the right doctor and was ready to bring home a baby girl or boy!
