Failed Glucose - Worst Experience Ever

Kimberly

So to begin I am a little over 30 weeks... this is my first pregnancy and I have always been an anxious person with a fear of the doctor....

With that being said....

2 weeks again in for my one hour glucose test. I always make sure to ask how will I receive the results. I was told no news is good news. So I proceeded to ask... if I do fail how long does it typically take for results to come back so o can expect a call in a certain time frame. The answer was 1-2 days. Okay fair enough. Two weeks went by and I did not hear anything so again no news is good news.

Today I went in for my regular two week check up. The nurse brings me back and says immediately at you doing your three hour glucose today? I am very confused at this point because I wasn't aware that I didn't even pass he first one. So I say um no one called me did I not pass? Sloths nurse says oh I don't know maybe I looked at the wrong chart. Hmmm that is real reassuring. So she leaves the room and no joke I sit there for 50 minutes wondering if I passed or failed ... no one told me anything. Finally after 50 minutes there doctor comes in and says no I didn't pass he one hour. So I ask why didn't anyone call or tell me. She told me that my blood work was never sent to any of us doctors for any of them to call...again real reassuring (please excuse my sarcasm). So to how I already have a fear of the doctor this is literally why... I always think the worst and I am scared they are going to tell me bad news. So exactly what happened I thought I passed and of course how ironic and rare ... my blood work never got sent to any of the doctors for anyone to call me. So again going back to my fear of the doctors my blood pressure is a little elevated and of course at this point I am in tears...so the doctor proceeded to tell me I have two options I can go to the hospital and have my blood pressure monitored or I can wait at the office and they can take it again... so I opted to wait at the doctors office but I politely explained that this is exactly why I have a fear of the doctors and why my blood pressure is a it elevated. I also told her more than likely it will stay elevated at the doctors especially with how my appointment went. Maybe me you I check my blood pressure everyday at home and log it and before my appointment it was 114 over 74 ... anyways the doctor then says you really have offended me today... I seriously sat there in utter confusion about the words coming out of her mouth ... I offended her I then said I am sorry how did I offend you she said because I stated I don't like going to the doctor ... um excuse me don't tell me I offended seriously if she had a brain she would have so empathy for me realizing I get anxious of the doctors office in general ... not to mention not a doctor in the office seemed to know about my blood work...

Eventually my blood pressure went down I went to check out at the front desk... of course the receptionist hands me my print out and I always like to look at my urine levels before I leave in case I have any questions... so I look at the back and it has cancer diagnosis and this hat and the other thing... immediately my heart drops again because my initial thought was geeez what else did the doctor not tell me ...sure enough they gave me the wrong patient print out... I mean come on check the print out name before you just start handing people's private information out. I seriously cannot get over how awful this appointment was.

So all in all I am still nervous and anxious about have to do the three hour glucose test. I needed 140 at my doctors to pass and my results from the one hour were 147.

Any advice or input to help ease my mind. Thank you for the support!!
