[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. Had no idea about the vaccine issues - will be sure to double check during the next appointment.

Yes, I know I should be going into the gyno on a yearly basis, but I hate to and have been putting it off for years. It's partly a cultural thing - my mother never goes, either.[/quote]

Start taking prenatal vitamins and definitely book a preconception visit.  They can check for common genetic issues with just a blood draw and as others have mentioned making sure your vaccines are up to date is important too.  Apparently I was not immune to chicken pox despite having had a mild case of it when I was a child.  You don't want chicken pox when you're pregnant.

Trust me, I understand hating going to the gyno.  It causes me great anxiety (I have sexual trauma in my past and the examines feel very invasive to me).  With that said though, no matter the reason, your health is important and you need to go regularly for exams.  Not to mention when you do get pregnant, you have to go in for appointments a lot. As much as it sucks, you might as well get used to it now!  [/quote]
