Questions for my doctor, who will hate them

My first doctor's appointment is on Thursday and I've been compiling a list of questions for my OB. Here they are, in the order that I thought about them, I guess because I'm kind of a horrible person.

  • I stopped taking my anti-crazy pills. Can I have them back, please?
  • I stopped taking my sleeping pills and now I have insomnia. Can I take Melatonin? Pretty please?
  • I am maid of honor in a wedding on 9/1, but I'm guessing my due date will be, like, two weeks before then. How likely is it that I will be the worst MOH ever and miss it?
  • What is a healthy weight gain over the course of this pregnancy?
  • How gigantic will I be in April? Because I'm in a wedding and I'm wearing Badgley Mischka come hell or high water.
  • My spray tan girl says I need a doctor's note to get my tans, so... Can I have one?
  • When do I have to stop flying? Because I have a beach vacation in June and a family wedding in August.
  • Do first-time pregnancies often miss their due date?
  • How much does my risk of miscarriage reduce as I progress?
  • When can we find out the gender?
  • How does your call schedule work in case I go into labor and you're unavailable? (Do I meet the other doctors in the practice beforehand?)
  • The prenatal vitamins I'm taking make me burp up a fish taste (TMI, deal with it). This makes me rage. Is there something less gross I can take?
I'm sure Dave's questions are much more mature and, I don't know, significant, but a girl's gotta know where she stands with everything, amirite?

Stay tuned. Update on the first appointment coming on Thursday.
