your first baby doctor appointment may or may not be punk rock

So punk however does not mean that you are poor. In our case we are kinda broke. Never stopped anyone from having a successful childhood  especially if you're creative. So I have never been on unemployed whether i needed it or not, So going to places like social services may not be very enjoyable experience if you semi hate what it has done to our country. However social services are a needed service, people abuse them just like anything else.

So signing up for medical must be done at a social services center.

Online will not permit you to see the Dr.

We did not know this so I cried and the nurses helped me fill out my form.
I wouldn't say I am a cry baby, but dammit some times you gotta cry.

So once you find out your pregnant and your gonna be a rockin mom or dad
go to social services if you need it asap.
Hopefully you have insurance and you wont have to go thought that process.

Finding a doctor
Is so easy now online. I went through www.zocdocs.com

I found my Dr Dr. Christine Hoang.
She is actually completely wonderful and made us both more excited.
She is in a medical group which I would really recommend.
Its smaller and faster and doesn't make you feel like your there because your sick or in an emergency
like a hospital does.
If you've ever spent time in a hospital you know the feeling of being in one.
However if you feel safer in a hospital the ob/gyn is typically in more private section on its own.

What to expect from your doctor 
Expect to pee in a cup to once again get the You're pregnant
promise this is the last time someone will have to "break" this news to you
You will give blood

Biggest tip on giving blood if your don't like it
1. Do not let the nurse know you are nervous it has and will freak them out
because human beings do not like inflicting pain especially someone who is dedicating
their life to helping people feel better

and don't look!

As many times and I have had blood drawn I never like it and I never want to do it again.

Expect a pap smear. Yay fun it maybe the first time your baby daddy has
to witness what you endure every year as a womanly check up.
I think its good for you guys to see this. It will be smidgen of whats to come.
who's excited??

Hopefully your in complete health now, and next is the awesome part

The ultra sound
Experiencing this is mind blowing jaw dropping and completely fucking cool.
like science nerd insanely amazing chemistry set you have is naturally
voluntarily regenerating your DNA and your baby daddy's DNA into a
perfect little person. This is where fear slips away and your
really giving yourself some credit for being so bad ass.

I literally was jumping up and down after this or maybe  before it.
All together we spent 3 hours there so
Be sure to bring food with you and water !!! It is really important to make sure
that the dad or friend or mom or whomever had food to eat as they will get cranky and
piss you off.
