humbling experiencer
Being prego is very humbling in some senses. On Monday, I called the doctor’s office at 6:30am and left a message with the answering service for my Nurse/Dr. to call me as soon as they got in. 3 messages later and 1 phone call to the receptionist I finally got a call back around 2:00ish. This is after stating very clearly that i’ve been puking since last Thurs. night unable to get out of bed for most of that time and then bleeding on Monday. I was pissed, as was my mother in-law, hubby etc. When the nurse did call they didn’t want to see me in at all, nope, just call in a prescription for my nausea. On top of the fun of throwing up, I now got to take Phenegran um and not orally. Can we say how embarassing (somewhat) it was to have my in-laws (because my hubby couldn’t go get it) pick up my lovely suppository prescription. JOY JOY JOY. Not to mention the fun I’ve had of having to take them to keep just popsicles down. I’m down 7+ pounds now and still having major nausea but at least I can drink / eat popsicles and did put down some mcdonald’s french fries last night. So over the past few days, I haven’t been able to leave my bed much for a break here or there to sit at my computer, which I feel lucky that I can sit here without throwing up all over the keyboard but I need a break from the bedroom. I couldn’t even take a shower yesterday but today I managed to stand long enough to wash my hair.
That brings me to today, I woke up sick but when I went to the bathroom I noticed some more red blood and got upset. I called the doc office again and 4 hours later I get a call telling me not to worry and that I have my ultrasound appt. tomorrow and that if I start gushing blood call them. Well I live about 35 minutes away from the nearest hospital. Pardon me if i’m upset they didn’t see me on Monday when I should’ve been. I’m upset that i’m told to “not worry” when yah, I may be fine, but my past history has me worried. God forbid? Then I found out that my appt. is in 2 parts tomorrow. They had a conflict so now I go in at 11:45 for my ultrasound and then back at 2:45 for my doctors appt. I’m not sure how i’ll make it with my nausea through both of those especially when it means i’ll drive all the way home sit here for a little while and drive back.
Sooo, that brings me to the decision. After my doctor appt. tomorrow i’m switching doctors. Patrick got # from his boss for his wife’s doctor (she’s due in nov.) so i’ll be switching.
I asked some family that are in the medical field and they can’t believe that no one has wanted me in sooner with my past history and the fact that i’ve been bedridden since last Thurs. I know morning sickness is common yah yah yah….but on Monday I couldn’t keep anything down nor could I barely move to the bathroom since pretty much Thurs. night. My husband and mom’s thought I should be taken to the ER if the doctors office didn’t get back to us and we were ready to do that. I almost think we should’ve just so I could have some reassurance and see an ultrasound instead of having to wait 4 days before a doctor would look at me.
Anyhow, hopefully all is well and this is all a good sign of me being healthy. I pray that it is and part of me truely thinks it’s ok but i’m just frustrated at the approach the doctors office has given me. Instead of trying to reassure or make me feel at ease they brush you aside and put off calling you for 6+ hours.

Id be pissed, SUPER PISSED! omfg, with your history, I would consider you HIGH risk pregnancy. WTF are they thinking. And I think you should pick a new Dr. as well sweetie.
Good luck with that, and keep us updated. *hugs*

That is awful hun they should have seen you! You should most definately change doctors (wish i had that option heh) A little red blood is very commong though expecially at the point you are in the pregnancy =) I’m not trying to dismiss your worries i COMPLETELY understand how you feel and you have every right to be worried. I had some spotting right around 8 weeks and it was ok =) Don’t stress too much over it, it’s not good for you. Just look forward to your appointment tomorrow. Let us know how it goes sweetie.

Ugh, I would be pissed too. I am glad you are changing doctors.
The stress just compounds the situation.
/hopes you are able to keep some food and rest.
Looking forward to your update tomorrow. *hug*

I am sorry things are not going well. I would be upset with the doctor as well. If you can’t have faith that your doctor will take care of you its time to change.
