1st OB/GYN Appointment

Let first start off and say that I don't feel like any "normal" pregnant girl. And maybe that is why I feel the way I do about certain things and my standards are alot higher than normal. I want my doctor to understand that.

Our appointment was at 2pm. Tim arrived before I did and had already had started filing out the paper work. I finished up and signed the papers. First of the agenda was a urine sample. They gave me a label and sent me to the bathroom. The bathrooms were dirty. I opened up one door there was no toilet paper, so I went to the next. Let me tell you it wasn't any better. If I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't have minded but I am one of those nervous pregnant girls who refuses to even touch anything or anyone. What I also didn't like was that the cups weren't packaged individually. Who knows what hands or where they have been. I really should have just walked out then. I sat back down and was called back within 5 minutes. The nurse went through a background history and other housekeeping stuff. After about 30 minutes of that, the doctor finally came in. All she did was sit down and ask if we had any questions. I was expecting a little intro from her - history, how many babies she has delivered, where she delivers, etc. I got nothing from her. I had to ask all of the questions. She also didn't give me any warm and fussy feelings. I told her that I will not believe that I am really pregnant till I have that little baby in my hands considering all that we have been through. Her response was is that "Don't worry that motherly instinct will kick in once your baby in here." Lady that wasn't the issue at all. It seems that she didn't understand that it took us 2 years, including 2 cycles with clomid, 5 clomid/iui's, hsg, and laparoscopy. We were just about to do IVF next cycle until I found out I was pregnant. I had already purchased the $1,500 inject ables and Tim and I had already taken the class for it. Than she was about to say good-bye when I asked her if I was supposed to get a pap smear, she said "Oh yeah, I forgot." Needless to say I am not going back.

I called my running buddy and she seems to like her doctor. I am going to try him out next week.
