Before having DD, I never much bothered with the doctor; I'm not really a worrier.
Since having her, I've seen the GP maybe 2 or 3 times. Each time I come away feeling like a complete idiot, wasting his time with a trivial issue.
DD is a very good sleeper. Last night she didn't sleep well at all, kept waking up, seemed very uncomfortable but we couldn't find anything wrong.
This morning I found a big blob of what looked like ear wax on her grobag. She was grumpy and did not go back for her nap (she usually smiles sweetly and falls asleep very quickly).
I made an appointment to see the GP to check that everything was OK. He checked and was polite but said there was no problem. Great but I came away feeling like I didn't really have answers. He didn't give me any reason why it had happened or any advice at all.
The thing is, I do wonder if I am over-anxious and it is all me being an over-protective first time mum.
Does anyone else feel this way? Don't think I'll bother again.
