16 week check up

Monday, I had a doctor's appointment to check up on the baby. It was the longest appointment EVER!!! Let's just say, I am still ticked off about it.

My appointment was at 10:45am. I knew my appointment was going to consist of dopplering the baby's heart beat and such. Not really a long appointment. So, I decided to bring Lily along. I arrived at 10:30 to the doctor's office. There wasn't hardly anyone there....so I was thinking, this will be an in and out visit. They quickly called me back. I was weighed....I have lost 2 pounds. So, I was questioned on how well I am eating....not very well. I don't really have an appetite right now. Not really nauseated, just not hungry. My blood pressure was good 116/68.

Then Lily and I got sent to a second waiting room while a room was being cleaned. We weren't there for long. Then, the finally called me back to my room. Ok, the nurse said, "he will be to see you in a few minutes." Well, 2 hours later a Family Nurse Practitioner...student came in. I was already ticked off for waiting 2 hrs in a little room with nothing for a 3 year old to do, then they send in a student. Ok, I am not a person that cares if a student assesses me or anything like that, because I was there before. However, don't send a student in after I have waited for 2 hours. Now, this girl was very nice but extremely weird. She was totally in my face....and I was getting even more irrate. This girl asked what I did....I said, "I am a RN in the ICU." Well, she didn't really want to talk to me after that!!! So, she said that she was going to find the baby's heartbeat. She told me it was going to take her awhile, she wasn't joking either. It took her nearly 10 minutes. I wasn't even for sure if she actually heard it or not. I wasn't feeling very confident in her skills. Then my doctor came in. He didn't even assess me because she already did. NOT HAPPY AT ALL. So, at that point, I was done. I wanted to leave and I was ready to get out of there. I told him I had a sinus infection and needed some medications. So, he wrote me a prescription and I was out the door. I scheduled my next appointment for June 7th. That is my 20 week ultrasound. I will find out what we are having!! Still undecided if we will tell people or leave it for a surprise.

Anyway, hoping next appointment will be nothing like this one.
