New Doctor

Hi ladies!

So my primary care physician is now out on her maternity leave and I had an appointment yesterday with her replacement. I’m not going to say she’s a bad doctor, but I just felt a little bit rushed and like she wasn’t completely listening. Mind you my 3.5yo was also in the room asking are we don’t yet the whole time. She seemed concerned about my blood pressure and heart rate, but only took one reading for my bp, my regular dr does at least 2, usually 3 and she also checked my heart rate manually. But then didn’t really tell me anything just asked if I was feeling okay. I said no, I’ve had morning sickness aka all day sickness, then got a stomach flu that turned into a head cold with a fever, I haven’t slept, ate much or drank much in 2 days, I feel like shit. She says well pregnancy protects you from major infectious things but unfortunately makes you more susceptible to these every day bugs. And that was it. Thankfully, I see my OB in 3 weeks and will see her now until the end. But I just really wanted some help yesterday and felt like I got nothing.

Okay, end rant.

But if anyone has any tips please help me! Every time I drink water I puke, or I cough then I puke or sneeze then puke. Tylenol is helping some with my fever and soreness. I just need some hydration!
