Bed Rest and a BAD hospital
63UGH...not my cup of tea...I am to active!
This is where I have been...
So, I have been absent from hubpages for a while. And this is why. About a week ago, I had some complications as I reached my third trimester. I rushed to my doctors office, only to find them closed. So I went to the ER, where, when I told them what was going on, they sent me straight up to Labor and Delivery. I was freaking out! I haven't had trouble with any of my pregnancies, but this one has been a bit different. They quickly hooked me up to all the necessary equipment needed to monitor me and the baby. So far, so good. I kept waiting for an examination...it wasn't happening. I was told to expect to be at the hospital for at least 2 hours. Two hours came and went, my rear was going numb from this horrible bed they had me in. I went through pee tests, and a catheter, two tight belts around my belly that baby kept running from, or kicking away from, and they would come in and reposition it. My doc finally showed up, in his bright flowery shirt, yakked on his cell phone, while he waved his hands at me and asked me retarded questions. He finally got off his phone, said he was admitting me for 24 hours, and would see me in a few days. I asked why I was having these problems, and why would he admit me if they had stopped, and he made some reference to controlling my surroundings and drug use...answered his phone again, waved and left!! I was SOOO angry. I sat in that miserable bed for 11 hours, had my my blood drawn, and countless other tests done...and said ENOUGH! I had the nurse call my no good doc, and checked out. I have taken it easy, when I tried to schedule a follow up appointment, my calls were not returned. I don't do drugs, I don't drink or smoke...and have passed all my drug tests and blah blah blah. Perhaps if my doc had asked, I would have told him that I had added squats to my exercise regime the day before...or had gone on a long walk a few days before, maybe I was over exercising. No, he was to busy on his phone to find out the real reason I was in the hospital. And instead of examining me, just checked me in to the hospital...and when I voiced my dislike over that, he ordered a sleeping pill!! I think its time I find a new doctor!!

Sounds like you might want to switch to a mid-wife. :)
