[quote=Anonymous]Hi all-- just learned today that my solo practitioner OB will be on a two-week vacation starting three days after my due date (which is in early July). He works with another solo practitioner OB to provide back-up, so if I deliver more than three days after my due date, it will likely be with the back-up provider. I know that this isn't the worst thing in the world, but I'm really bummed. This will be my second child, and my first delivery was a bit complicated and scary. Any thoughts about how to keep this all in perspective? I'm feeling scared and a bit abandoned. Plus, a random older guy at 7-11 today looked me up and down and said, "looks like twins." (It's not. Not that it matters.) I know people get this kind of comment all the time, but the license that people, particularly men, feel to comment on women's pregnant bodies is really galling to me. I'm just fuming. [/quote]
