1) from the very first visit, they barely aknowledged Keith (he may as well have been a stuffed animal in the corner)
2) There are 5 of them and I rarely have the same one and when they come in the room I simply get a "hi" no introduction then they proceed to do whatever they need to do without saying a word and at the end as they are walking out go "oh, do you have any questions?" Um I guess not! and even if I did I'd have to chase them down the hall! Which, by the way, I did on one appointment. I just needed to know if I was in the clear to highlight my hair but I couldnt even get that simple question in because she left so fast!
3) They never told me I needed to schedule my glucose appt in the morning OR that I couldnt eat before. Luckily my friend told me all this because she actually had these same drs and they did the same thing to her (no, i didnt realize she had them and they sucked until after I was already 4-5 appointments in) and she actually failed her glucose test bc of it. She's still plotting her revenge. She even switched hospitals completely for her current pregnancy.
4) Never informed me to bring a DVD to the ultrasound. Again I learned this from a friend.
5) Oh, never even gave me a script for my ultrasound until I had to go back and ask for it.
6) The last few visits the dr will measure my stomach and not say a word and get ready to leave until last time im like "so um...is he on target as far as growth?? What position is he in??" And then she told me. I only knew to ask these things bc again, I have a friend who is due the same day I am so I get ALL my information from her. I told her she should just be my doctor.
ok so this all led up to my mental breakdown last night. I went to my SCHEDULED doctors appt at 6:15 and the office was CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering why the cleaning man was asking me 20 questions as I walked into the office. (i was looking at him like "shut up you creep" I briskly waddled out after I realized I was the creep). If you've seen the show Friends, I was much like when Phoebe was playing that arcade pacman game and lost I felt like it was a slow motion meltdown, screaming profanities and shaking my head back and forth.
So anyway, I was terrifying. I went home and stuffed my face with beef stroganof, tator tots and italian ice.
I will end this post by saying, I want "third trimester sarah" to leave. She's scary. BUT in her defense, those doctor's probably deserve to have "third trimester sarah" ruin their lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember a simpler time when all we had to worry about was how we were gonna get to skyline drive talking in "OP", and worrying about whether or not your mom heard me fart into the phone intercom....now we're having babies,talking about how we "can't believe" we stayed up until 11pm, and probably having less "you know what."
