Yesterday I had my appointment with my GP. Walking into the consultation room, I was really nervous. I had this horrible thought that he was going to turn around and insist that this was not a great descision and I had no hope of being a mother. It's amazing how your mind can take you into this whole other world and scare the shit out of you, before you even know the possibilities.
So my GP sat me down. We discussed why I wanted this, my concerns, what I would be getting myself into and if it's something I really wanted to do on my own..... It was really nice talking to him about it all. It made me realise how much I actually really want this and even though it's going to be hard, difficult and tiring, I think I can really do this and am mentally prepared for it... We spoke about the choices I would like to take with options of my fertility, donors, private health cover etc. These were all very important aspects of what I needed to prepare myself for. Overall I got the green light from the doc... Now to prepare myself for the steps ahead...
Step 1: Folic Acid everyday...
