Prenatal Vitamins?

Amazingly enough, being put on prenatal vitamins was not the best part of my doctors appointment. As soon as I told my primary care doctor, who I've had since I was a preteen and she was just in med school, that I'm lactating, she couldn't stop laughing. Although she knew that the cause was most likely the stomach medication, she had to runs some tests just to be sure and of course the first test involved milking me...there's just no other way to describe it, I've been milked. Now it's not like she milked me for no good reason, she had to make sure there wasn't any blood coming out or else it could be cancerous (no worries, I was blood free). She also ordered a few blood tests including a pregnancy test which led us to talk about having children and the complications of the stomach medication. I told her that the husband and I are planning on starting the whole "let's get pregnant" thing this time next year at the earliest, she said that the stomach meds should get out of my system pretty fast but that I will have to go off the birth control in the fall and should begin taking prenatal vitamins now...I'm a little freaked about taking the prenatal vitamins, it makes it feel so real! As if suddenly being old enough to be married wasn't scary enough, I'm now prepping for motherhood...when did time catch up with me?

  1. Ha ha ha..I love the fact that you got milked. My doctor jus told me that I had to drink more milk and all I could think of is where you were when I needed milk. I know I am a pretty bad friend for thinking that but it made me laugh. I love you though. And I can't wait to have little yous running around. :)
