Follow Up Dr.Appoitment

Let me just start off by saying that one of m biggest pet peeves is when people are late, or worse yet when somebody else makes me late. Can we say aggravating? Anywho yesterday I had my follow up Dr. appointment after having my D&C. My appointment was for 2:15, because I like to be on time I arrived at 2:05. Upon checking in I was told that the Dr. had an emergency C-section and that the office was running a "tad" behind. I said no problem asked how long and the receptionist told me about 20 minutes. Irritating yes, but I figured I'd cut them some slack after all it is an OB office and we all know babies come when they want to. I brought my book and figured I'd sit, read and try to relax for a while.

However after 45 minutes I was starting to get a little shall we say pissy. The time was then 3:00 and they still had not called my name. I also swear to God that possibly the most irritating young 20 something looking girl was sitting next to me. First she was silent, she was however a very heavy breather and I could hear every breath she took, but I thought I would just ignore her breathing. Then she started to talk and I swear she never shut up the rest of the time I was in the waiting room. But what she was talking about was what was getting to me. She was talking to the lady sitting next to her and saying how she can't wait not to be pregnant anymore. That she was only 12 weeks and was already feeling like it was the longest 12 weeks of her life and she didn't even have morning sickness. She continued to complain on and on about she hated being pregnant and that she wasn't even looking forward to feeling her baby move inside of her. At this point I thought it would be a good idea to sit on my hands because I kinda felt like I was going to smack her in her ugly face. Finally they called her name to go back to see the nurse. I realize that I didn't come into the office with a neon sign above my head that said I had a miscarriage a few weeks ago after 14 months of trying and not to talk about being pregnant, but come on have a little compassion and respect for all the other people sitting in the waiting room. Who really knows what each of us was there for.

Time now 3:20. I had been in that office for 1 hour and twenty minutes without moving. UGH!! I was just about ready to leave when my good friend Jenniehttp://happymayhem.blogspot.com/ sent me a text to see how my appointment had went. I told her I wouldn't know since I was still in the waiting room. I told her I was going to leave that I was sick of waiting. However, she informed me that I really did need to stay just to make sure that everything was "kosher". So after laughing out loud in the waiting room in response to her text I waited, waited and waited some more.

Finally at 3:40 the nurse called me back. Thank God!!! The nurse took my weight and blood pressure. (By the way I don't usually talk about my weight but I now weigh 124 pounds WAHOOO!!! The day I found out I was pregnant I was 148. I haven't weighed that since I got married. Yes, I'm eating, I just still don't have much of an appetite yet) I digress I saw the nurse talked for a few seconds and she told me that she was sorry that the Dr. was still running behind and I would have to wait for a few more minutes. My lord!! So back out to the waiting room I went.

Finally at 4:05 the Dr. called me back. She said everything looked really good and she didn't see any need to be concerned that I would have another miscarriage in the future (if that time ever comes again) She told me that based on the size of what she took out that the baby probably stopped growing very soon after getting the + HPT. She even thought that there was the possibility that the baby may have even stopped growing before Shawn died. Not that it made me feel any better knowing that. Then she went on to say that since I'm doing so well that I can resume to all "normal" activity that I had before having the D&C. You all know how I feel about the word normal now. But I guess I will have to see what I can do. Time I walked out of the office 4:11. I waited for 2 hours and talked to the Dr. for 6 minutes. At least she was nice and apologized for having me wait so long.

So that is an update with me. I will write more soon. I swear I'm going to start posting every day.
