Hey ladies, back from the doctors. Everything was ok but this was the first time I felt as though my doc thought I was asking too many questions and just didn't take me seriously. I was having some pains in the hoo haa which I mentioned and I told her I knew they cold be normal but I was concerned that my cervix might not be up to scratch or something. I asked if they would check it at the anatomy scan and she tells me, "if there is a history of cervical incompetence they would check it" Thankfully I have never had to have an experience of cervical incompetence. This is my first long term pregnancy I have no idea if there will be a cervical problem. Hoping the ultra sound tech will give it a once over if I ask next week but I just felt like my doctor kinda brushed me off. I don't like to feel rushed. I don't expect to be in with her for hours but I see her once a month and that's the only time to ask questions. I think she forgets that I have had so many losses and might need a little extra support or time to have my fears heard.
I also gained about 8lbs according to the docs scales. I think its more like 5, but she told me not to gain that much again for the next visit. According to the docs records I have only gained 10lbs. I don't think that is too much even if that was right, I don't thin its quite as much as that (I weigh myself naked in the am and there I have different clothes every time, today I had a baggy sweater they told me I didn't need to take off)
Usually I am so excited to go to the docs and hear its all going well, but today I just felt kinda bummed out when I left, like I got told off and didn't really have any answers because she didn't check anything on me except the heart beat so now I am left to worry for another week until the scan to make sure everything is ok.
Ok, sad face needs to leave. I have a healthy baby in there. I know I am blessed, I am just nervous it will stay that way.
