38 Week Appt - A Rant
I had the worst doctors appointment last night. I am 38 weeks now so I am down to the weekly appts. The office I go to has you cycle through all the doctors.
The doctor walked in and asked me very condescendingly if I was having any more contractions (because she saw me right after I had been sent to triage for consistent contractions) I told her Braxton Hick with some cramps and she chuckled. She did my pelvic exam and didn't tell me if I made any progress all she said was "well I can tell you this baby isn't coming tonight".
I asked about induction a few days past my due date rather then an entire week. My sister is getting married 2 weeks after my due date and I am the MOH. I was concerned with healing time in the event that I need to have a C section.
She made me feel like such an vain asshole for asking. She told me that if my dress was to big I would just have to deal with it. And that she didn't know what my body would look like after baby. That's not what I asked or why I asked.
Then with her hand on the door knob she asked if I had anymore questions. I just shook my head no. I was so taken aback at everything that had just happened that I didn't feel comfortable asking any other questions. I was afraid to ask her if I had begun to dilate at all. So I walked out of my 38 week appointment in tears (angry frustrated tears) without a lot of information that I was hoping to get. I am really hoping that she is not the doctor on call when I am ready to deliver.
