I'm planning to start a clinic and lab in a month and I'm in need of a few doctors. Specifically, I'm looking for a radiologist, a general physician, dentists, and a gynecologist. Could you share some advice on how to find the best candidates and any key qualities I should look for in these roles?
Don't worry, it's normal to experience on-and-off morning sickness symptoms during early pregnancy. Hormonal fluctuations can cause varying levels of nausea and vomiting. Since you had a recent ultrasound confirming a healthy fetal heartbeat, it's likely that your symptoms are just subsiding temporarily. However, to alleviate your concerns, consider scheduling a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the pregnancy.
