I just want to warn everyone before they read this.. I'm not happy right now. As most of you know I had a miscarriage in August this last summer. I am very concerned about this pregnancy and AM NOT happy at all after my first appointment.
But, with that said. EVerything looks as good as it can without actually seeing. I have had no pain, except growing pains and everything "seems" fine.
Okay. Well to give you the information you need to understand.
We are stationed at a naval weapons training and testing base in Ridgecrest California. It is a huge base, but very small as far as population.. It has a lot of square acres and land. but no people and therefore no Naval Hospital like most bases have on them. Bryce was born at an awesome naval hospital and right now i'm totally wishing we were having this one there as well!
anyways. SO I found out that I was pregnant and immediately called my doctor, which is on base, but only a medical clinic, they don't even have a lab there. THey just do shot and check ups and small pharmacy. I got the positive and she referred me out in town.. Well in this town of population
24,000 people. There are only TWO, excuse my language, FUCKING OB Doctors.. and they referred me to the one that is old as dirt and looks like he could die on you at any fucking minute. I'm not kidding. He uses a cane to walk, can't hear a word you say and his eyes are so glazed over from his age that i have no idea why he still holds his medical license. It scared the living shit out of me when he first walked into my room. I asked him if he was lost and he laughed and told me He was going to be delivering my baby in 7 months!!
Holy shit. SO i went with it at first. He asked me about my pregnancy with bryce and the one i lost in August. Mind you. He was alone and the nurse was who knows where. And i had to keep repeating myself, each time louder and louder. It was crazy. He asked me about my last period blah blah blah.. Okay according to my last period I was 7 week 5 days the day of my appointment. He is losing my mind because he keeps telling me that We won't be able to hear the heart beat of my baby until my next appointment when I'll be 8 weeks along.. I was getting really upset. because everyone that has ever had a baby knows that you can hear the heart beat after 5 weeks. And anwyays.. Everyone woman looks forward to hearing it at the first appointment anyways. Especially if you have lost one before! GRRRRR
He argued and argued with me.. Even while he did my pap smear, which was totally awkward and he hurt me really bad by the way. STupid me for letting him. I should have just left as soon as I saw him..I'm toooo nice.
Well not after that. I got my clothes on. left crying and called carlos to tell him that I didn't get to hear our babies heart beat (he was home with bryce) and I was so freakin upset. O my gosh.. I'm still livid about it all.
But, thankfully, they have open spots with the other OB doctor and he is young and nice and handsome I hear too.. I just wish someone would have given me him to begin with. The nice thing is by the time I see this new guy I will be due for our first ultra sound. I will get to see this little miracle growing in me. Everyone thinks its a girl.. Or one of each.. I had a dream it was twins. And everyone knows that twins run in both me and carlos's family. I would LOVE to have twins! so we are almost praying for twins. Weird I know, but it's true. We will find out hopefully in the next month!
Sorry for ranting and raving but i'm really pissed about that whole freaking experience! Geez, take that poor man's license away. He should be in a nursing home or at home watching tv. Not looking at girlz cooters and arguing with them about their due dates.. Geez old man, its time to move on to the next stage of your life!!!

i'm sure it's frustrating - we were lucky enough to be able to choose our dr! remember no matter how frustrated you are that you're still expecting a little miracle!! we weren't able to hear the heartbeat until we were 10 weeks and a couple days and that's was thanks to the type of ultrasound they did and keri didn't get to hear ryker's heartbeat until he was 12 weeks so everyone is different. good luck and can't wait for your next update!
congrats on your pregnancy and i am sorry that things went so badly hopefully the next appt. will go better.
Thanks girls.. I guess it is pretty normal for the doctors to not try and hear the heart beat. When i was pregnant with Bryce i could have sworn that I got to hear his heart beat when I was like 8 weeks. But that was a long time ago. LOL I will keep you posted!
