Work is such a slog right now. I hate every single minute of it. 😞

I ran out of prenatal vitamins yesterday so I have to run out to pick up some more today. Not a big deal but it's cold and windy and I just don't want to leave the house.

Beckyf321 · December 2020

@becks_726, I feel you on that.

Started on B6 and was actually feeling semi human, but then over did myself trying to get my house back in order and feel like utter crap again. Really needed to get to the grocery store, but now that won’t be happening and I still have 3hrs before I can take my next dose of meds. I hate nausea. It’s the worst symptom for me.

Only thing that sounded good was biscuits, and I freaking burned them! 😭😭😭

I find myself planning a holiday Zoom party for my team at work.... even though I know it is SOOOO lame and people are making fun of this concept all over the place!!! I just don't know what else to do LOL - at least it is during work hours so it's not like I'm asking people to give up their evenings.... lol I just low-key hate that I've become *that* person.

I had my first appointment today and I thought it was fine, but when I got home all my feelings caught up with me and I was so upset I sobbed for a while. It all works out because I can’t deliver with that practice anyway because they don’t do high risk but the tech barely showed me baby, didn’t tell me what the heartbeat was, they kept forgetting what I was there for and asked what I was waiting for (like, you) and the Dr was kind of awful about my history and basically said one preterm birth isn’t a big deal. Well I certainly thought it was quite a big deal! It was just awful.

pharmd93 · December 2020

@DuchessOfCambridge that sounds awful! I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I guess it’s a good thing you won’t be delivering with them. Hopefully you can find another practice that treats you better and takes your history/concerns seriously.

DuchessOfCambridge · December 2020

@pharmd93 thanks, I have an appointment set up elsewhere with a high risk dr and if I don’t like them either there is another hospital I can go to. It’s further away but they have a whole preterm birth prevention center which sounds appealing

bntfroggie · December 2020

@DuchessOfCambridge how soon can you switch practices? Honestly, I'd switch don't even tell them you went anywhere else and they may do another ultrasound for you at their place.

tiggywiggles · December 2020

@DuchessOfCambridge I'm sorry you didnt receive the support and understanding you deserve as an expectant mother, but also as a mother who has had complications with previous pregnancies. Theres no excuse. Kindness costs nothing. I know when I had my first ultrasound the ultrasonographer informed me she couldn't give me details on heart rate...she couldn't even confirm a heartbeat to me. She did show me the baby, informed me of where the measurements put me and pointed to a flickering on screen. My family doctor later revealed the heart rate to me. Perhaps that's their policy too? Regardless that should be explained and you should have had a chance to look and embrace the moment you get to see your child. I'm sorry you were robbed of that precious moment. If your gut tells you to find a new practice, do it. You'll want a practice you can trust and feel comfortable with. Fingers crossed the next doctor you see will be a good, supportive fit.

daisy528 · December 2020

@DuchessOfCambridge ugh I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I hope you are able to switch practices soon, and that your new one takes your concerns more seriously!

I have been going back and forth with one of the nurses at my OB office about my nausea. First, she told me to try Unisom/B6 with sea bands and small meals. The Unisom combo helps, but only until mid-morning and then my nausea returns and doesn’t let up for the rest of the day no matter what I do. All I want is a prescription for something I can take for it midday (I could take the Unisom again, but even half a tablet knocks me out). The nurse said I have to call and make an appointment for “hyperemis in pregnancy.” Like, this is the same practice that doesn’t make your first appointment until 10 weeks! Wtf. Can’t I just get a prescription?! It’s not like I am asking for Oxys or something! I have my intake call on Thursday, so I’ll see what the nurse has to say then. So annoying.

bntfroggie · December 2020

@daisy528 Wow that's rough, I called yesterday and was like I tap out, and they were like we are sending in a script. They were also very concerned that I would get dehydrated and I'm like nah I'm good just want to stop puking.

canucklehead123 · December 2020

@DuchessOfCambridge @daisy528 ughh I'm so sorry you're having these struggles with your healthcare providers, it's honestly the last thing you need!!

jessd0117 · December 2020

I am officially looking for a new Dr. I had my phone consult today which was fine, but she informed me that at my first real appointment at 12 weeks (still a month from now) I won’t be having an ultrasound because there is no medical need for it. I actually won’t be having one until TWENTY FREAKING WEEKS. Like halfway through this pregnancy... and that is the only one I’ll be getting. I was also told that their contract was not renewed with the birthing center that I had my daughter at (I LOVED it and that’s why I came back to this OB), so I will have to deliver at a different hospital.

These really feel like first world problems and I feel guilty being so disappointed but this is just not at all how I pictured this going

daisy528 · December 2020

@jessd0117 my practice is the same way! I did ask about genetic testing though, and if I opt in for that (it’s optional) then I would get an US at 12 weeks. At this point, I just might eat the out of pocket costs and opt in on the testing so I can get a scan before 20 weeks!

bntfroggie · December 2020

@jessd0117 Not at all a first world problem, you need to be comfortable with your OB because you need to trust them!

marikkita12 · December 2020

Over a week ago I had blood work done including the nipt. A week later I finally heard back from my midwife to inform me that there were not enough fetal cells in the blood sample so I have to go back tomorrow for another draw and then wait again. I’m so frustrated about this.
