I had my appointment with the High Risk doc today. Of course, as always my mind associates an ultrasound with a tragic end and again it has proved itself to continue. The tech is really quick at looking at everything from the kidneys, stomach, brain... all I wanted to see at the beginning was the flickering of his heart. I need that to start out with just to keep calm. Heart rate was 159 bpm! Whew. Ok! Now is he gaining weight? Yes... he is measuring to be 4 lb 10 oz. That is AWESOME!!!! So relieved!!! But then...
The Doc walked in to go over the results with me. He said all looks well, however, he wants to show us 1 thing. 1 Thing?? What is the 1 thing??? I'm trying to clean the goop off my belly while still trying to listen to this Doc with an accent who stops frequently from talking to say, "Ok". Come ON... He shows me the screen with the numbers of measurements to say the baby is only off by 2 days. Are You Serious?? 2 days??? Hi, yeah... you got me worked up to telling me there is this "1 Thing"? Get the fuck out of here (In my Jersey Accent). I felt like I was going to pass out by the delay after saying "1 Thing". Again, this doc did not look over my chart so he told me he wants me to come one more time at 37 weeks. I told him that I have at least 3 more scheduled before the baby comes because of having a stillborn. Apparently he forgot... shocker. Then he went on to say, "Depending on the progress of his growth at the next scan, he is going to request that we let nature takes it course with labor." I said, " That is not the plan. The plan is that at 39 weeks I will be induced, which is scheduled already for February 5th." He smiled and said, "Ok". I then went on tell him that we did our 1st non-stress test last Wednesday at 32 weeks and that the baby was very active. He turned to me and said He usually does it at 36 weeks and after... I reminded him of the plan his Partner, Dr. Canterino put together for my situation and it states to start non-stress tests at 32 weeks. I rather stay with the plan to get through this, and moving forward this is how I feel comfortable. He reluctantly agreed to stay with the plan. Seriously, if my Hubby wasn't with me, I would have passed out from the stress of this guy. Even my husband who doesn't get stressed out was stressed with this Doc. We have been through enough... I am sticking to our plan jackass.

Having a mother from Jersey and living there for several years I heard that accent loud and clear as if you were actually speaking. I cannot stand when doctors say "1 thing". It should be written out of their dialect especially when the "1 thing" isn't cause for alarm. SMH. Glad everything looks good and your in the homestretch now! Way to stick to your guns about your plan as well. Nobody wants/needs extra confusion in their life! Especially not during pregnancy. |
