Chapter 6: More Information
A few days later after returning home from the hospital, Mary had scheduled Lisa an appointment with the OBGYN. Finally the day arrived, Lisa was so nervous about going, but her mom kept on reassuring her that everything will be okay. As soon as they arrived, Lisa kept on getting a funny feeling that something wasn't going to be okay. She turned to her mom and said,
"Mom, I am really scared. The doctors are going to think I am nuts for having a baby at only 16, what am I going to do?"
"Sweetie, listen to me, everything will be okay. Right now, we just need to take one day at a time. Don't worry, I will be in the room with you and I will not leave your side at all."
At this moment, all Lisa could do was cry into her mom's arms and her mom did the same.
Finally Dr. Sandra Jones came into the room to introduce herself to Lisa.
"Hi Lisa, I am Dr. Jones, it is very nice to meet you."
"You too"
"Now what can I do for you today?"
"Well I believe I am pregnant and my mom thought it would be a good idea to schedule an appointment and see how far along I am."
"Okay, how old are you?"
"I am 16."
"Well why don't you lie down on your back for me so I can start up the ultrasound procedure?"
Before Lisa lied down on the table, she turned to her mom and her mom just nodded signaling that it was okay.
The doctor told Lisa and Mary that it looks like she could be about three months pregnant. At this statement, both Lisa and Mary were shocked. The doctor wanted to see Lisa back in here in a few more weeks just to make sure everything is okay.
"Thank you, Dr. Jones for everything."
"You are more than welcome. Please take good care of yourself and if you need anything please feel free to call me."
"Okay, I will."
At this both Mary and Lisa left the office and headed home to see the rest of the family.
