TTC After a Loss
At my annual I got the "Just relax" from the receptionist.
Grrrrr. I was in such a bad mood going in there. I love my OB, but going there always sucks. I tried to ignore the baby magazines in the waiting room and was doing pretty good.
Anyway so exam is fine, my OB is super sweet, she dealt with IF and multiple miscarriages before having 2 kids that no one thought she would be able to have. She is perfect and knows exactly what to say.
I go to leave and the receptionist had me fill out a card to come back in six months. She says all chipper: "You graduated!" meaning I don't have to come in every week or so like I was. In my head I thought, well I wish I hadn't "graduated" because I should be coming in here all the time for my prenatal appointments. But I said, "I hope I am back in here sooner than six months!" Her response: "Well you just have to relax, because if you don't that can cause things to not work right."
WTF is she saying? That I stressed myself out and that's why things didn't work out? I was stressed as hell last summer because my mom was in the hospital with Stage IV breast cancer for the second time and then I found out my baby died. Gah. I am amazed at my self control that I wasn't snotty to her at all, but I did give the evil eye to the poor innocent pregnant women in the waiting room on my way out.

Some people just don't think before opening their mouths to speak.
I'm sorry to hear your mom had to deal with cancer - I hope she is ok now.
Ugh, people just don't know when to keep your mouth shut. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
I meant to ask how your mom is doing? Hope she's doing well.

Thanks. She is still doing chemo but doing very well. She had a bilateral mastectomy in 2004 but it came back. It was pretty awful timing for our family, at first it seemed like the happy baby news balanced out her grim diagnosis, but then to lose the baby was very hard on all of us.
I'm so sorry. Cancer is such a hard thing to deal with - I've been there a few times. ((Hugs))

Motherhood is not for wimps
I agree..It does feel nice..It puts people in their place..
I'm sorry you had such a crappy receptionist..She should have kept her mouth shut..It's almost like they don't know what else to say, so they say what they think helps..Ugh..People! I'm sorry ((hugs))
I am sorry she was such a stupid biatch. I don't know anything about your medical records, etc. and even I know you didn't cause this through anything you did or didn't do. Shouldn't they know better working in the medical profession? Surely something would seep in there through osmosis, no?
When I went in after my C/P, my 2nd BFP in 5 months, his receptionist (and WIFE!) told me that I should get referred to a specialist to get KU. Ugh, thanks, but getting KU doesn't seem to be the issue. Why don't you shut up and do some work instead of running your mouth? Then 10 minutes later I see him and he tells me it is nothing he is concerned about etc. I wish I had said, "Tell that to you wife!" I love him, but hate her. Will not be early for any appointments in the future.
