I'm so sorry you had a crappy experience, classictwitch. I'd have cried, too, but there, in front of the dude, making him uncomfortable. But, I'm a crier. Team #avoidthisguyifyoucan and #listALLthedrugs
I hope you feel better cl8badb. Nothing wrong with letting J chill today (or tomorrow, or all this week).
All the ladies said it better nursemommy13. I'm so glad you're not with your X.
He was most upset about the Sulfa drugs (I don't know what happens with those, I was little) and penicillins (makes me anxious and unable to sleep--I was told to list it by the prescribing MD I was seeing at the time) because "it really limits the best meds you can take." I'll take penicillin if I need to and deal with it, but geez.
Oh boo freakin' hoo doctor.
Yeesh, as someone who has anaphylactic reactions to antibiotics. There are other options! So suck it up and prescribe something else.
classictwitch can you find a new OB? It's important that you feel comfortable.
Yeah. I'm goin to request to not see him, but if I stay there he could still end up delivering this baby, so I'm inclined to leave.
DH wants me to give the practice and the other OBs another shot and then make my decision. It's fair. I could love the next OBs I see.
Basically, the only other place for me to go is to the hospital that kept effing up my urine/kidney stuff, so they don't thrill me either. I did see one of their OBs and loved her earlier this year, so there is that.
I see your DH's side. Hopefully it's just one jerk and the rest of the place is nice. I figure every practice probably has one jerk.
I had an awkward conversation with J today. It should've been a simple one but i felt awkward the whole time. He knows what restroom signs look like. When he sees the little man he knows its a bathroom. Today at the doctors they had a joint sign with a man and woman figure on it. J quickly said "2 men". So I immediately started to explain how one is a man and one is a woman. I pointed out the differences... The woman had a dress on. Then i cringed... The whole time i was thinking "shit should i say this? how do i explain this in a gender neutral way?" I just continued with my quick explanation bc i had no clue where to begin or how to break it down for a two year old to get it.
Bc yes the womans bathroom sign has a dress on but men can wear dresses and woman can wear pants... Oy!

classictwitch I can see where the doc was coming from in that they are not true "allergies" but the way he went about saying that was just rude. I would always rather everybody list all of their allergies and drug sensitivities and we will discuss them all and decide where they belong. And some drug sensitivities are so severe that even though they aren't a true "allergy" they might as well be!
I can't think of a single situation where having less information about someone's health is better. Hopefully the other OB's are much better. FWIW, I had only ever had female docs until I met my OB and I just love him. Maybe this one is just a dud

Dang you pitchslap. So I ordered the leggings but they aren't available for shipping so I did store pickup. But then I see two shirts that aren't available in store, so I bought them to have them shipped. Dang red card.
classictwitch,you have your answer, but I agree to list your neds!
I have had docs say the same thing about it not being a true allergy, but I awlays list it because I don't want to waste anyones time when they give me a med that will cause me to vomit it right back up.

I had my 8 week appointment today and I hated the OB I saw. It's my first time away from my CNM's who delivered DD (first time ever). And it was the first time I had a male doctor down there.
He was so freaking rough with my PAP and I'm still cramping. And then he made me feel stupid for listing drugs that I have strong reactions to under "drug allergies". According to him, if it's not anaphylaxis, it's not an allergic reaction worth mentioning. So, the med that made me black out and hallucinate during DD'a delivery? Don't list it. Even though I was told by my nurses and CNMs to do so. The drug I've always had to list since I was little that I don't know the reaction to, but was really sucky? Don't list it.
I called DH when I got home and cried hysterically about the visit. I'm aboalutrlu dreading this pregnancy and delivery now. I want my CNMs back.

melohdy If sitting around watching tv with a newborn isn't how your supposed to do it then I did it totally wrong. I caught up on full seasons of shows like it was nobody's business. It lasts even less than you remember the first time so kick your feet up girl!

So I'm one of those people who always loved going back to school and couldn't wait to get all of my supplies, pack my bag, plan my outfit, the whole deal. And I don't have kids old enough to go yet so I haven't really got to experience from a parent's perspective yet. Well I went shopping for school supplies on Sunday because a fantastic local charity here put out a bulletin that they were super low on school supplies this year and they have about 500 kids that rely on them for all of their supplies.
It was eye opening going in to staples with my classroom lists trying to get the basics for as many kids as possible and hearing some ( definitely not all) of the kids in there saying "No! I want this binder, and this locker mirror, they need to match!".
When I went to drop the bags off this afternoon a mom with her 4 kids was going in to sign her kids up to receive the school kits. She told her son to hold the door open for me and told him I was carrying school supplies. The two oldest boys took some bags and carried them for me and thanked me for donating supplies and told me they were excited to go to school.
Sometimes I forget how lucky we really are and hopefully I can find a way to teach my kids to appreciate that and look for ways to help.

Left M with MIL from 830-230 today and we discussed reintroducing the Nutramigen while I was out. MIL says M didn't root or act hungry once. She ate most of a pouch and some Cheerios at lunch and that was it. We're pretty sure M knew exactly what the deal was and was going to hold out for the good stuff. Probably MIL was overwhelmed and tired and didn't really want to fight that battle today, but I will explain that she needs to have milk of some sort before purée.
I'm caught up and have been love titting along the way- hugs to all those that need them.
N has her heart procedure tomorrow. My baby. I've been holding it together really well- but I cried giving her a bath today. And in the target parking lot... And maybe a little while I was driving too. I know she will be fine- but I'm so fucking anxious and scared and it is just really hitting me hard today. Any thoughts or prayers you could spare for my little girl would be hugely appreciated.

I'm still praying! For both of you. So many hugs, girl. She'll do great and so will you (assuming that the asshats in your life love you alone)!
I actually went out of town for the weekend with my sister just to avoid everyone. It worked brilliantly.
