Choosing the Doctor

Date : Around 22-Jan-2012

"It's positive! Congrats!", said the doctor. 
"Are you sure? I am ahead by just 5 days!", I said in disbelief. It was not even 20 days since we decided to have the baby. 
As I would tell my husband, "So far our company was services based, time to start our  product!" :p.  
"Yes, almost sure. Get a lab test done after a week and come back to me.", said the doctor.

Lab test confirmed the same and before I could go to the doc again, my parents rushed and came to Bangalore, totally excited to meet me. 

This time I went to her with my husband.

Doc: "Take these tablets, morning 1 each and night 1 each. Both after meals."

Me (suspiciously): "The other tablet looks like hormone tablet. Why do I need it? There is no complication yet."

Doc : "Yes but these days all women need it."

Me (uncomfortable and thinking) : "Maybe I need to change this doc."

Doc : "Don't walk too much, don't travel by bus, don't travel by 2-wheeler, don't travel by auto for couple of months, don't climb stairs...don't...blah blah blah..don't...blah blah blah..don't...blah blah blah.",

Me (freaking out  and thinking) : "Helloo! How do I go to office then?!!" :o

The way the doc spoke, it looked like any slight disturbance and I would lose the baby. Delicate and careful is something that does not come even with practice to me. Felt like I would have to clip out my wings for next 8 months. I reached home with a brave face only to flood the living room with tears. Mum as usual said, "Inkulu mantha eethu late baale ampuna, aike incha aapuna." (You all plan for kids so late, that's why all these problems). I wondered if she was right. But at 26 I was losing my calm over nothing, it would have been worse if it was even before.

Next day we both rushed to another doctor.

Doc : " You have these Folic acid tablets for now."

Me (thinking) : "No hormone tablets. She is good perhaps!"

Doc : "Don't start any new physical activity/exercise. Other than that, you can continue with whatever you have been doing so far. "
Me (relieved) : "Phew!"
Doc : "You can drive 2 wheeler and go to office. I drove till 7 months!"
Me (excited and thinking) : "Wow! She is cool too!"
Doc (looking at my husband with lot of concern) : "You  both can continue having sex too."
Both of us (uncomfortably changing position in the seat, wondering where to focus our eyes and thinking): "Did she really say that now?" (Blush! Blush!)

Nausea never allowed me to ride my 2 wheeler to office the entire time but I chose my doctor :). 
Regarding the last suggestion, you can keep guessing ;).
