Rachel,
Awe, it stinks that you traveled down the “prenatal assembly line” and had such a poor experience congrats on your first baby! I am sure the heartbeat was amazing to hear.
Hopefully you can skip the future, non-medically necessary ultrasounds to minimize drama for you and baby. We skipped all future ultrasounds and tests after our similar experiences didn’t want to pad the pockets of inefficient people 🙂

Don’t forget you can fire your doc and get a new one if things get worse. Make em respect you and honor your experience!

I felt the same way today when I went in for my 12 week ultrasound. The tech acted very annoyed and inconvenienced that my baby was upside down. Although it’s fairly normal I felt worked and uncomfortable while she probed at my belly getting frustrated the baby wouldn’t move. I heard the heartbeat and was excited to show my husband as this is our first. I told him as we were leaving wow she might do this everyday and it may slow her down but this is a once in a lifetime experience for us and it would be nice if they showed a little compassion. I do my job the same everyday and when I’m inconvenienced I still smile and have manners why can’t they? I also literally saw the Dr. For maybe 5 minutes. Because my uterus is tilted she could not feel anything. Literally asked me if I had questions and how I was feeling. It may have taken 5 minutes. Thank goodness for health insurance I wonder what I would be paying for that pointless And unfriendly appointment? Atlas
Least hearing the heartbeat makes it all worth it.

I often think the same things but it is totally different reading it from the viewpoint of a first time mom. I always love it when mommas listen to that voice inside screaming “bullshit!” I am so happy you won’t have to birth at the Women’s surgery hospital..er..I mean hospital..

You sound just like I feel about the health care professionals in this post. They could certainly stand to treat each patient like an individual human being and not like a cow being processed for slaughter. Sheesh. Anyway, I hope it gets better and that you will have the birth you want, with caring professionals that you trust and that put you at ease.

I was barely 95 pounds when I got pregnant with Odessa, and was about 105 at 12 weeks. I really started piling on pounds near the end of the 2nd trimester and throughout the 3rd. I gained an average of 50 pounds each pregnancy, and am back to my normal size by 6-8 months post-partum. I agree about the check-ups, they seem like a waste of time. My midwife actually spends a full hour with her patients at each appointment. What drove me nuts though was that every time I’d have the whole fam damily in there and she’d ask “so is your discharge still normal? No odd smells or textures?”
