Prenatal Care Question

Hi moms! Is prenatal care usually done by the OB GYN, or do you also see a physician assistant?
At Geisinger in PA, they told me I’ll mostly see a physician assistant and might only meet the doctor who delivers my baby on the day of delivery. Is this normal for you too?

I had one OB overseeing my prenatal care, and I saw her most of the time, but would start the appointment talking with a med student with the OB following up. My OB did not deliver my baby--it was whomever was scheduled that night. Totally normal to see a PA.

I had a primary OB but she works with a team so I met with several OBs in case mine couldn't be there for my delivery (in the middle of someone else's delivery, emergency, etc)

All my appointments were w my OB. Except once when she was out of the office and I met with the PA. However, my OB was not on call when my baby decided it was time to come to this realm so another OB within the same practice delivered my baby.

Am I losing my fucking mind!

So I posted last night about going to a burlesque show with my partner that got awkward and uncomfortable when I realised I knew one of the performers. We went to school together.

I mentioned in the post that she danced in front of us, had her butt out, took hwr shirt off and did a sex dance with her ex husband.

So many people got confused, thinking my partner was the ex. I explained that I said "her ex husband", not "my partner". Some people never responded, 1 said she was telling me why she was confused and one told me I was coming at her sideways and was not a nice person because in addition to saying the above, I mentioned I had just told her my partner and the performwr had no connection, to which she had responded by asking if they had been married.

Another basically quoted "her ex husband", said I literally said those words and that was somehow confusing.

Others started saying I shouldn't go to a burlesque show or what did I think was going to happen, when I felt I was clear in the very beginning of my post that it got awkward when I recognised the old school friend.

I had mentioned being upset about the night in general and then people were asking about me mad or annoyed. I was like, I literally never said I was, I was specific that I was upset. Different emotions.

They also assumed I was upset because I wanted sex but I never said that, I said what I was actually upset about.

Someone somehow infered I was mad at my partner and shouldn't have included anything about the burlesque show because it was irrelevent. Except it wasn't.

I feel like I am losing my fucking mind because wtf.

Thank fully some people did actually understand what I was saying.

I have asked specifically what was confusing but aside from "you came at me side ways and are not a nice person" and "I am telling you why I was confused", I haven't exactly gotten an amswer to why "..........with her ex husband" was so confusing.

Like, I don't understand and feel crazy.

He's put something in my mind now, would you think he is cheating if you were in my place?

So last night I was in bed, asked my partner to cuddle me. He didn't, about half hour later he wakes me up by moving around and said "shall I put a condom on" so I said that would be nice but you always say no to wearing one. He then replied "yeah not with you" so I replied "eh? Pardon what do you mean not with me" he then said "I don't need to wear one with you, I will have all your babies (his decision to not have more 🫠)" so I said "well then you don't wear them full stop do ya" trying to still stay sleepy at this point as it's 5am. He said "I don't have to be as careful" then went back to sleep.

How would you take this.. As a confession to cheating or just he was talking in his sleep? Because I feel like I am going crazy. I have looked through his phone and found nothing, he works over 30 mins drive away from home and we have been together 15 years

Have we looked at our hoohaa’s?

Hehehe idk if anyone has talked about this yet 😅 I had a vaginal delivery with a first degree labia tear. I’m 4 weeks pp and I have so many questions…

Are we shaving down there? I’ve been lightly grazing the razor down there on the side that I know was stitched. I’m afraid of cutting with the razor.

Im too afraid to even take a mirror down there to see what kind of condition she is in 😮‍💨

I have my 6 week checkup at the end of the month and they want to do my cervical screening and the thought of the speculum has me having flashbacks 😂

Need help guys 🥺

I just want to know how to deal with getting cheated on, and not respected. I’ve been very hesitant with getting pregnant bc I know I haven’t found the right guy but god did his deed and I am. It’s with a man that I love but clearly doesn’t love me the disrespect is there, he goes out all night Doesn’t even come home, we don’t do anything together because I’m pregnant, it’s just a lot. How do I finally let go? I told him I don’t want him back in my house so we’ll see how far that goes. I just want love, and support and I can’t even get that from the man that impregnated me.
