On a recent Saturday night, three girlfriends and I sipped green apple martinis around the kitchen table. The conversation inevitabley ended up on the topic of visiting the gyno. For women, these yearly trips reveal much about where we're at in this journey called life.
Once these appointments were meant for obtaining birth control and "getting tested." The doctor would always ask about sexual partners and protection. But now, instead of safe sex, the topic of conversation takes on new territory: responsible pregnancy.
My fabulous pals were commenting on being asked if they take a multivitamin and folic acid, the thought being that if they should decide to get pregnant their bodies need to be ready and healthy. Perhaps it is telling that my doctor only asks if I am taking my Prozac and birth control pills.
