OBGYN was in extreme cranky mode today.
Remember though - I choose him for his skill IN SPITE OF his bedside manner...
Still no c-section date --- arrrgh! This was the 3rd now (I think) appt in a row where it was discussed that it still needs to be booked. Now he was saying probably sometime March 23 - 25th depending on when other ones are booked.
Since the 23rd - 24th is the date range we've been discussing since what - January? Then maybe it should have been bloody well booked already!!!
I've apparently lost 3 lbs since my last appt and he asked why I thought that happened and I mentioned the wicked night-time heartburn/night sickness and then he says, "Well what do you want me to do about it?"
So I pointed out that I thought he'd want to know. He told me to try Gaviscon.
Oh, and the waiting room was standing room only today.
HOWEVER -- the office is going to be closed for a wk while he goes on vacation sometime before my next appt so he'll HOPEFULLY be nicer next time.
Anyway, I brought up that he said at my last appt that I'd be having another U/S and he said they'd book that for me and I said, "Oh, OK."
So he says, "Well how else do you expect it to happen?" And I said that with my previous 2 ultrasounds, my family DR had given me the requesitions and had me book my own within a timeframe the DR gave me.
Nonetheless, they booked the U/S for me with no input on the place I prefer to go, and no input on the time so I have to go to a place on Pine St for 2 p.m. on March the 3rd.
The form they gave me just says that it's to check "fetal growth" -- but now I'm wondering, does that mean he's concerned about the baby's growth?
Oh and that same day, the 3rd, is also when I go for my next OBGYN appt - and that's at 10:45 a.m.
He's never given me my measurements or anything even though he measures me -- but he was so cranky today I didn't want to ask ANYTHING...
Stats for today were:
Weight - 285 lbs
Blood Pressure - 134/80
Baby's heartrate - 121 bpm. He said 120 - 160 is "normal" and I asked if I should be worried since it was so close to the low end of normal and he repeated that 120 - 160 is normal.
So I asked if that was his way of telling me to NOT worry about it. And he said, "yes."
So there we go.
And re: the baby bpm guessing site --
