Annoyed rant

Okay as it is coming towards the end of a day where nothing was accomplished I am annoyed. My car just started acting up the other day so it has been in the shop for the last two days and I had an appointment for my rhogam shot today. I was able to get a ride there and ended up not even getting my shot till waiting 3 hours on that dumb uncomfortable hospital bed that's after being pre registered and having an appointment. I do understand. Yes they could be busy but if I am already in a room and only there for one shot it should take maybe an hour or two tops. On top of that i think the only reason I was able to get it then is because I told them I was going to have to leave since I had no other ride. Then after the nurse finally comes in she ask well other then your weight is there any health problems I should know about. This is what makes me so upset first of all I do not claim to be skinny by any means and I was in my weight group till like two months ago and now I'm obviously so fat it has become a health problem in which my own doctor seems to think it is fine. That statement now has been all I've been thinking about for the past 30 minutes. I was feeling fat before and swore to myself that I would start going to the gym again since I've been slacking off but now I feel as if I'm so fat I should stop eating or become anerexic. I have never in my life been so mortified and now can see how easily stuff like this can hurt and cause you to do crazy things. Of course I will not do anything like that but now I'm thinking we'll maybe I should start skipping meals or something since I only eat when I am hungry which this last month has just about doubled I have never eaten so much in my life but if my stomach is growling should I not be eating?? Of couse yes I need to start exercising again but this whole time I was not going to the gym I have been deep cleaning and doing chores at the house you would think that would compensate the missing workout. So now I'm just annoyed/upset/feeling like a whale. I can just picture every step I take shaking the room boom boom boom here comes the cow watch out.

    Why were you in a hospital bed to get rhogam ...for what you think should take just a "couple hours?" (Should be a quick thing at your OB appt)

    I have had two, one for this pregnancy and one for my last pregnancy. Two separate OBs and two separate hospitals because my first OB moved when I was 35 weeks with baby # 1. Anyway, I did both RH in l&d. Not in OB office. And was there for a couple hours too. They have to take your blood first, and mix it with the Rhogram in the lab, it takes at least an hour to do that part.

    I'm a big girl. I was before I was pregnant, and I still am...shocking! Lol I understand the sting of comments about weight, because I live in this body and know that it's not ideal for my overall health, but I also know that weight isn't everything. Please don't beat yourself up over what one inconsiderate nurse said. You will have plenty of time to loose weight after your baby is born. If you feel like eating healthier will improve your outlook and help your situation, then awesome! We are not all skinny girls who gain 15# while pregnant. You are unique and special and growing a human inside of you for goodness sake. Cut yourself a little slack and relish in the fact that you have created life. It's amazing!!!!

    As for the rhogam shot, I've had them five times, one being yesterday. That sucks you've had such lengthy experiences because I just swing by my hospital lab and get the shot. No mixing of blood. This time they did a blood draw when I did my glucose test at 27 weeks, determined that I needed a shot and I came back at 28 weeks for said shot. It's interesting to hear the differences.

    That timeframe on the rhogham is ridiculous. It takes less than 10 minutes in my on office.
