Doctor Comments About My Weight

Paige

I had a third follow up ultrasound this morning because every time we try to get pictures of her heart she’s in a bad position to get the correct angle. The tech said everything looks good she just can’t get pictures the doctor will accept. I had an appt with my OB afterward and he basically said he gives up on the ultrasounds and we’ll just have to find out the old fashioned was if her heart is alright. Then he proceeds to say “no offense but if you lost 100 pounds by next week we’d be able to see it better”. I faked a smile but instantly wanted to burst into tears. Then he told me some bullshit story about how he was a chubby kid and it wasn’t fun and that after I have the baby I need to make a serious change and lose weight. Like no shit dude, I didn’t just notice that I’m overweight, I’ve been like this forever. The thing is other than my blood pressure being slightly higher the past few times I have been in perfect health. They have had me do multiple glucose tests and they’ve all been perfect. I’m just hurt. I’ve already been feeling so bad about myself and this didn’t help at all. On the bright side I finally got an okay profile shot of baby girl!
