Breakdowns in the OB office

Every time I have an appointment I'm usually fine until the doctor always wants to talk about my feelings and what I'm going through relating to my loss. Then the tear gates are opened. Anyone else cry at their appointments? I feel like I can't keep it together sometimes

I have cried some tears of relief at a couple of sonograms this pregnancy when we saw a little heartbeat still flickering, but that's about it. My doctor always asks how I am feeling, but so far every time we've seen her we've just seen or listened to the heartbeat so those are the moments I'm feeling good!

I'm sorry you've had some difficult appointments. If you don't want to talk to your doctor about how you're feeling, can you see a counselor?

I did that for a long time. I have cried every single time I have ever seen my main OB, for the last two years, up until my 12 week appt when I finally had a good ultrasound and things looked good. I do get majorly nervous whenever I go in there, though, or to the place my ultrasounds are done, because it brings back so many horrible memories.

I wish my doctor would ask once in a while how that's going.  It's been totally swept under the rug it seems like.  I would definitely start crying for sure but it would be nice to know they care even though they see it every day.  ((hugs))

I have cried at quite a few of my appointments, sometimes tears of anxiety, sometimes tears of happiness, but lately, just tears because my mom isn't there with me.... Before she passed, she was my appointment buddy when DH had to work. So it has been hard the last 2 weeks (have had 2 appts since she passed) going alone and sitting there without her.

Usually my biggest appointment issue is my blood pressure. Pre-appt (read- before I have confirmation that Benjamin is still alive and well), my BP is high. My doc always makes the nurse check it again after we have seen (or heard) that precious heart beat and sure enough it is back to normal.

I break down at my OB's office all the time.  I'm sure they have a notation in their files that I am a little nuts   I see different midwives every time so it really depends on the one I get.  It's totally ok not to keep it together sometimes. It happens and you have every right to feel any way you want.  It is really nice that your doctor asks about your feelings.  I wish mine did more often.
