The most hilarious thing happened with us. Just a few days ago, we called a friend about some private matter, and then our friend asked us about our baby and who our OB was. “Dr. Graham”, we replied. As soon as our friend heard that name, she began a tirade about how upset she was with the doctor. She also had Dr. Graham as her OB, and the doctor mentioned during her routine visits that the baby’s head was down. When the due date approached, Dr. Graham went on vacation, so another OB attended her that week. To her horror, the OB discovered that baby’s head was actually up, and she needed an immediate C-section. She couldn’t believe Dr. Graham made such a big mistake!
Coincidentally, our Dr. Graham had also been insisting to us that the head was down, and Dr. Graham also went on vacation this week, two weeks before the due date. By this time, goosebumps appeared on my arms and drops of swet began to roll down my forehead as I contemplated whether we had made a disastrous decision choosing our OB . Why hadn’t we spoken to her about Dr. Graham earlier? With Karen due any day now, we had no choice but to follow through with this dire situation with Dr. Graham. What have we done?
Our friend then went on to mention that the reason she chose the doctor was because the doctor was female. Wait. Female? Karen and I looked at each other before rolling on the ground laughing because our Dr. Graham is actually male. Needless to say, we both breathed a sigh of relief as we once again look upon the arrival date with optimism.
Now if only we can make it past April 1st for that arrival date…
