12 week appointment today ended in tears.
Let me just say first that everything with the baby is fine! Heartbeat was 168 and I’m so happy. Although the NP made me cry. Everyone knows in pregnancy emotions run high and I was supposed to do my glucose test before 12 weeks. I opted not to because they can only tell you the risk of getting gestational diabetes not if you have it. They base everything off your BMI now a days and it really upsets me, not because I’m sensitive over my weight because I’m healthy otherwise. No history of diabetes or gestational diabetes in my family. And not to mention I’m not that overweight. I’m only 190 and I know that will grow with my pregnancy but still. I just felt like it was the best option for me to wait. Instead of he accepting my choice and trying to be understanding, she told me that I need to comply with their care and they don’t just recommend things just because which is totally understandable and I get it but then she went on to say that she didn’t want to care more about my baby then I did. Really???! I wanted right then and there to tell her to go screw herself. It’s not like I’m refusing to do the test all together. I’m going to do it. So I’m going to try to go back to my old obgyn and see what they say. I just want somebody to respect me and my choices. She said if i don’t comply with their recommendations I should go to another office. So I guess that’s what I’m doing!! Thanks for listening to my rant and please no mean comments.
