Pregnancy Info HOME

That is just outrageous! We are being taught to use less medical jargon, but we are also taught not to a__sume that people are stupid either! Good to hear you are healing Eclipse and that baby-up-at-night is happily disturbing your circadian rythym :-) That sounds like a new doll, "baby-up-at-night"...Good luck, Crisis, hope you get some relief soon, and Lawlady, that is a really dumb question to ask, I mean really, would anyone have answered "no"?

oops, you may be having a pain crisis, but I meant CRISI...:-O

i'm stunned at what some of your dctrs have said - holy cow. while pregnant iwht my second son, I started bleeding heavily at around 11 weeks. I continued to doso for about two months, but not too heavily. Throughout the pregnacy I had multiple u/s to check on him and to see his growth. Everytime we went, we'd get a different tech and they'd say different things. I had horrible dreams - one would say his stomach wasn't growing, one would say this and that, and one remark in particular has stuck with me for the past 8 years - don't expect him to have Elle MacPherson legs. What the?! If I was the same person as I am now as I was then, well...

BTW, he was a perfect 3.5kg baby...after all that. I"ll never forget the dreams. Crazy!

And do we want our boy babies having Elle MacPherson's legs? Lawlady, I hope you know I meant the receptionist asked a stupid question, not you!!!! It is scary Falafa10 what we have let go by in the past. The older I get the more I am amazed by my docile behavior in years past. Now I annoyingly bring lists to my doctor appointments to "discuss" ie. preventative healthcare test schedules, etc. Has a lot to do with nursing school (almost done!!!!) and also not being such a "good patient" anymore. A little knowledge is dangerous LOL. Glad your little man is just perfect.

I saw a diffrent Dr than my normal one once. He was great but his nurse was a total b___h. The first godd__n thing she said to me was "wow, YOUR pee is really ugly." I was just like excuse me? Duh! Its pee, its not going to be pretty! THEN the woman tried to take my blood pressure.... she told me it was like 154/98 or something ! (TOTAL BS) my blood pressure has never been over 130 in my life! She was basically trying to scare me into thinking I was pre-eclamptic or something....the Dr came in and did my blood pressure, turns out the witch was wrong. It was like 110/60 or so....alot she knows....

Did she mean it was cloudy? Or rust colored? I guess I understand when pee is not "normal" it could be an ugly situation, but I have yet to really see "pretty pee" except when it finally starts flowing in a patient with urinary retention problems LOL.

We have this one OB who just continually says the wrong things! Tuesday he told a mom who just delivered and had a mild tear "Don't worry about 4-5 st_tches, I'm doing a c-section after this and SHE is going to have a hell of lot more st_tches than this" We all looked at each other. While I agree he was correct, he could have said it in a nicer way.

She may have been refering to the color of my pee, it could have been a little foggy. But thats not exactly a nice way to introduce yourself to a new patient. I just thought it was a little un professional way to state it. She could have said, hmm your pee looks a little foggy. Or something a little less b___hy. And yeah its pee...its not going to be very attractive.

My husband works with computers, alot of times when people hear that they start asking about problems with thier personal computers. I was in the OBGYN office getting an exam (checking my cervix) and my husband was there, somewhere previously he had mentioned his work and as the doctor was examining me they were discussing the technical problems the doc was having with his laptop...just typical men, here I am splayed out on the table in one of the most compromising positions a woman can be in and they are talking computers!

Elle MacPherson's legs? What the...? That's the weirdest comment ever. I hope my son doesn't come out with delicate legs and thin ankles! Well, I guess as long as he doesn't come out with Salma Hayek's b___sts or Britney Spears' v____a, we're doing OK.
