Swine Flu and 16-Week OB Appointment

Well, my OB appointment on Monday marks my 16-week milestone.  I can't believe it has gone so quickly!  He checked the heart rate - 156.  Any guesses as to what it will be?  He said baby and mommy are healthy and apparently happy :)

He brought up flu shots.  I told him we don't do flu vaccines.  Then he brought up the H1N1 vaccine.  We don't do that one either.  But I told him I thought I had already had it.  We talked about fever and other symptoms.  He said he would go ahead and mark it down as swine flu and wouldn't bother worrying about the vaccine.  I felt safer getting the swine flu than getting the vaccine.  Not that I wanted the swine flu, but it's a lot safer than that vaccine, in my opinion. 

He asked about the AFP test (I think that's what it's called) for my next visit.  Not quite remembering what that one was, I asked what the results of the test could do for me.  He said I could either continue the pregnancy or choose to terminate it.  Such a nice way to put murdering my baby!  I told him that I wouldn't be doing that test because there was no way I was going to abort, no matter what the test might find.  That just makes me sick to my stomach!  I'm so glad he's not pushing me to do this or some other tests.  He actually seemed very glad that abortion was not an option.  That's a relief to me :)
