Ugh. I just have to vent. Because I get really nervous at the doctors, my blood pressure ALWAYS goes up there. As a result, I had to do a 24 hour urine test and a follow up blood test last week Thursday and Friday to look for signs of pre-eclampsia. I hadn't heard from them, so I figured it was a good sign because they said they'd only call if there was an issue. Well, today, I get a call and they leave a message. I call back, worried. It turns out they FORGOT TO SEND MY F*CKING SAMPLE TO THE LAB. So, NOW, I have to redo the 24 hour urine test AND get my blood drawn again. For someone who gets anxiety about the doctors, this is making it 100x worse. I can't handle this. I really, really, REALLY hate dealing with doctors.

I have your same problem. My blood pressure/ pulse is always up there when I go to doctors especially new ones and the moment they mention needles, I freak out. But for blood work they prescribe me Emla cream. put it on an hour before the blood draw and you feel nothing. It was a real life saver during my recent 3 hour glucose test where they draw your blood 4 times.

It's not needles for me. Yeah, the pain is... painful, but it doesn't scare me or freak me out internally. It's just being at a doctors office that raises my anxiety level. I'm usually a pretty calm, level-headed person, but at the doctors I get crazy nervous. Sigh.

Its not needles for me either, its the pain, hence the emla cream.

We told the rest of our family and friends Christmas night everyone was so so excited!!! But this morning my DH's uncle said "aren't ur boobs supposed to get bigger when ur pregnant?" I was WTF!!! I was so embarrassed and didn't know what to say. DH didn't stick up for me and went on by joking about it. I was so mad!

What a strange thing to say!! How odd!!

FertilityFriend says 8/6 and MW said 8/8 (with a margin of error of 3 days), so I've been sticking with 8/6 as I'm pretty sure I know when we conceived.

 

[josephine3]

so is that the 6th of august or the 8th june? sorry I get confused with american dates!! if its 6th aug we would say 6/8/12

 

[wantanerd]

August. we go m/d/y
