[quote=Anonymous]Took two pregnancy tests the weekend before last and both came back positive (would be my first child). I have an OBGYN I went to for annual checkups but wasn't sure I wanted to keep going there once I found out I was pregnant (its a "baby factory" and the physicians I liked kept leaving). I called a different OBGYN practice last week and they said someone would get back to me by the end of this week to see if they can take me on as a new patient.

In case they don't have room for a new patient, could folks recommend OBGYNs in either the Rockville area or anywhere along the red-line corridor through NW DC?

Looking at my last period, I think I could be as far along as 8 weeks. Should I just be scheduling an appointment with my existing OBGYN now rather than waiting until I find a new one?

Also, if anyone has any book recommendations for expecting moms, I'd appreciate it. I am trying to keep my expectations measured until I see a doctor (although I definitely have symptoms - water retention, other not-so-fun stomach issues). But I'm feeling wildly unprepared and would like a more "definitive" source to go to rather than googling a bunch of articles that, for example, give conflicting recommendations on what I can and cannot eat.

I realize I ask a couple of questions here, so thanks in advance to anyone with helpful advice/recommendations![/quote]
