Meeting Dr. Shakr

We had a visit with the Dr. last night and met Dr. Christo Shakr-a man that is apparently hard to get into and is extremely wonderful. We agreed! It was a short visit in which we discussed C-sections and induction. He encouraged education and to be informed of risks/benefits etc. before we make a decision. This is something we will consider since I want my family here for the experience.

He measured my tummy, and stated it was growing well (haha). We listened and recorded the heartbeat on our phones. The heart rate was 158-160 last night, strong & healthy!

Overall the Dr. was great, very professional, and honest. He didn't make us feel rushed at all which we loved! We see him again in 4 weeks for check-up.

Sounds like all is going well and that is what we like to hear!!!! Remember be aware of any little flutters in your tummy. That will be your little one letting you know she is there! Love all three of you! Mom
