Nervous for doc appointment today...

Some of you may remember I was in the hospital last week (for about 4 days) for PTL. I saw my doc's partners each day since he was not on call and they were wonderful. He finally came to see me the day I was discharged and was curt/short with me. I was supposed to go home with compression socks and he forgot, he also forgot that I was not allowed to have Terb (he NEVER remembers this) - he said, "good thing you are protecting yourself" - since he never remembers. Why wasn't this in my chart?? Anyways, I left the hospital upset b/c of how he treated me - he has never been like that in the office. He made me feel like I had done something wrong to end up in the hospital.

The next thing is the Celexa I have decided not to take. Out of all the antidepressants I looked at this was the only one that specifically said "do not take during last 3 months of pregnancy." Why did he prescribe it?

I am sure the hospital thing was just projection on his part (he had just gotten out of a c-section and was rushed) and I am sure he prescribed Celexa b/c he knows way more than me - I just feel like I have to have a conversation with him today about these 2 things.

I hate these types of conversations! He can be difficult b/c he thinks he is a gift to his patients ("you are very lucky to get an appointment with me..." and all that) but he is very good and well known for mulitple pregnancies. The nurses make fun of him but are the first ones to say he would be their doc if they were having multiples.

Ugh - wish me luck!

    Wow he sounds like a peach.

     Is it possible to see any of the partner's?  It is your life and your body so who cares if he doesn't like it.  If you can do it and you feel more comfortable just do it.

    As a side note - the practice I go to has a bunch of doctors.  I have now meet all of them with both pregnancies and like all of them, but when I was pregnant with my DD I got this one doctor that I really couldn't stand, she was abrupt and didn't explain anything and so on.  It was early in the pregnancy.

    So every time I made an appointment, I would tell the girls anyone but Doc A.

    3 days before I was induced I had BP issues and called the hotline since it was a saturday.  Guess who was on call Dr. A.  She was rude and nasty on the phone and gave me a bunch of crap in triage when I saw her.  They sent me home. 

    Monday after my doc appointment they send me to the hospital agian because my BP was out of control.  Since each day a different doctor was on I thought I would be good since I just saw Dr. A at the hospital on saturday.

    I was happy to find out tuesday which doc was on call, but later found out he was only working a half day at the hospital.  I told my nurse I didn't care as long as it wasn't Doc A.  She made a face and walked away.  About 2 hours later - guess who comes into the room Doc A.  She was a bit better, but still a little rough - she ended up delivering my DD.  From there I got a new respect for her.  After delivery I talked a bit with her and she seems so much nicer - actually a different doc.

    She is the one that realized I was having twins and gently told me what could or couldn't happen.  I then requested to see her as much as I could while pregnant.

    When the boys were born she was not on call the day they were born but one of the days and came in and sat down and talked to me and asked about the boys and such. 

    I even told her at one point during one of my visits with her while pregnant that I didn't like her in the beginning but now well she has a special place in my heart because she delivered my DD.

    When I see her she also always asks about my DD.  She said she likes to keep up with her babies that she delivers.

    She went from someone who I couldn't stand to now who someone I always request when I go to the practice.

    Anyways - sorry this got so long - Good luck today.
