Ok so yesterday I had my doctor appointment and I had so many things to discuss with my dr and so many ?s. Well when I got there, first of all I have gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks- so I guess that is normal. Then I told her all of my issues:
Migraines- should I get the MRI or not and how to manage the pain
Baby movement and pain that will make u pass out
Belly pain around my belly button
Not sleeping
Work schedule
Back pains
Well every issue I brought up was blown off. She just said o yeah that is normal, o yeah that is normal, o yeah that is normal.............for real?? It is normal to pass out from the baby moving?? And what if something was wrong?? What if she is wrapped around my umbilical cord? Dont I have reason to be concerned? Can I not worry and get reassured. I mean I would understand if that was the answer to some ?s but NOT every single ?.
She did say that my migraines are of concern but until I agree to do an MRI she cant help me. If they get worse I am supposed to go to the ER and have them do an MRI right away. She seems to think they will and that she will see me sooner than expected but we will see.
Anyway am I crazy to think that I should get some kinda sympathy or concern from her?
And why cant I get a sonogram of the baby to make sure everything inside is ok? They make you wait from 5 months all the way to 9 months to see the baby again! It has been 3 months since I have gotten a sono. Not fair! I wanna see the baby and make sure everything is ok.
And I want to know why all my friends that are pregnant didnt go through any of the things I am going through.
Ok well I am done venting now. Sorry bout that. This is just frustrating. But I am working for this month and then will go on leave on Novemeber 1st, if I can last that long. :)
O and they said that my due date has been changing and to average them all out they would put me at Dec. 15th but I am messuring for Dec. 8th still so if the baby isnt here by the 15th then they will induce me but she thinks she will be here before then. I still think she will be here on the 21st of nov.

Does your insurance cover another sono? If not, how much are they out of pocket? Hmmm... what did she say about the risks of an MRI while pregnant? I mean, it sounds like she feels it is okay if she is acting that way... you might ask if there is such a thing as an MRI that is different or safer?? I think you need a new OB for the next baby unless you can come to a point where you feel more comfort/reassurance from this one. I am so sorry you are not getting the TLC you deserve. This is a nerve-wrecking time. First time Mom or not, these symptoms are taking away some of your joy of pregnancy and I wish she would take them more seriously. Frankly (now it's ME who's venting...) I think you need to get this migraine issue figured out BEFORE you have a newborn to take care of. If your OB is okay with the MRI, I think I would consider it... just so that you can get some relief of that BEFORE she comes out. Once she's here, you want to be able to enjoy her and take care of her.
ReplyDeleteJust a few things to consider... Hope I am not prying...
Oh, and to answer your question...
ReplyDeleteNO, you are NOT crazy. And this is NOT the last time a doctor will make you think you are.
You are just being a good mother.
no you are not crazy.
ReplyDeleteyour sister is crazy for putting POOOP on a blog you not crazy lol
Thank you Melissa!!! You always ALWAYS know what to say! I never looked at the situation like that. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood advice, Missy.
ReplyDeleteJared, YOU CRACK ME UP.
Karissa, after last night, I think you need to go ahead with the MRI. But YOU have to make that decision. I'll be praying that the Lord will give you definitive direction.
I have to second Jared's comment that it is yo' sista' who is crazy. I mean, posting poop on the blog is one thing... but posting a CLOSE UP of the poop...

whoa everybody whoa. ZAK is the one who took that picture.
ReplyDeletemy big thing about doctors is that THEY are the ones who spent years and years in med school and THEY are the ones who see patients everyday, so I usually side with the doctors. BUT sometimes they are wrong. So i would get a second opinion if you don't feel good about your doctor's advice.
