Turns out the OB doesn’t have any interest in seeing a newly pregnant person until they are about\u00a010 weeks pregnant. Here began the waiting. How did I fill my time? Well, from weeks 4 to 6 I basically felt like I\u00a0had a pretty intense case of PMS. I read every article I could find detailing the risk of miscarriage. I wanted statistics broken down by day…by hour would have been even better. I was so bloated I was convinced I was already showing. Oh…and having to pee seemingly 6 times an hour, that was confusing.
