I was suppossed to have an OB apt today for a yearly and MC followup. I was suppossed to be my first prenatal apt. I should be 8w 5d and would have gotten an ultrasound. It's a 50 min drive so I had plenty of time to think about that which almost brought me to tears.
My Dr.s office is in the hospital directly above L&D. I got to enjoy the elevator ride up with a huge extended family who was going to meet a new baby. I got to hear lots of details and see pictures. The last time I was in that elevator I was going to see a friend who was delivering her stillborn son so I was also thinking about that. When I got to the office the waiting room was full of newborns.
Apprently our insurance changed on the 1st. DH forgot to tell me or give me the new card. I had to step out into the hall to call him to get the new insurance #s. He told me they were in his filing system (aka thrown in cardboard boxes in the basement) and that he would have to call me back. 10 min later no call so I said srew it and decided to leave. In the elevator down I got talked at by a woman who was 33weeks pregnant and complaining about it. Apprently she would rather have a premie than be pregnant any longer and was mad that her doctor wont induce her. I was upset anyway but she topped it off. I told her my baby had just died and to shut up. I also told her I felt sorry that her baby had mother selfish enough to sacrifice her childs health for her own comfort.
DH called when I was back in the car and in tears. I told him to call the doctors office and tell them I would reschedule when I got the new insurance card.

Oh and I forgot to mention that this woman was wearing a wedding ring and looked like she was at least 30 so it's not like she was some dumb teenager. She looked like she should have been educated enough to know that she wouldn't want to induce a healthy baby at 33 weeks.

I have no idea if she said anything. I said it as I was getting off the elevator.
I think I speak for all of us when I say I am so proud of you for having the courage to say something to that lady! This is the one pregnancy complaint that irks me more than any of them. People just do not realize how much of a miracle and a blessing it is to have healthy pregnancies and babies.
I am sorry that you had to deal with that...life is such a douchebag sometimes.
Sending you big hugs and an electronic fist bump!
