I feel like a second class citizen in my OB office 😒
I'm 18, was 17 when I got pregnant. Wasn't planned. My boyfriend is 19 and will be 20 when our baby is born. I've been nothing but respectful and responsible but I still feel like I get a side eye at my appointments. A part of me wishes I chose a different doctors office but I didnt feel like switching because I'm on a state insurance plan and didn't want to deal with that. I shouldn't have to put up with it though... My doctors and midwives are all nice to me, that's not the issue. Everytime I leave they give me a printed packet on teen parenting and "my options." Like really? My doctor told me to go to hospital and I'm already stressed enough and when I checked out, I was given a thing of papers and I was expecting something helpful.. Nope. On the patient portal, it says under problems "Teen pregnancy" and they talk to me about my options at each appointment. So annoying. I'm legally an adult, although this wasn't the best time to have a baby, it's not the worst. I never drank, smoke, partied, whatever. Just kept to myself and my boyfriend. If I was 23 and married but totally irresponsible they wouldn't judge me as much. Ridiculous...
