Stupid No Good Know It All Nurse!

We went for our consultation with our new OB today and didn't even meet the Doc. We filled out paperwork and the nurse ran down the list of usual questions about my medical history. Isn't that why I had my records faxed over, all 18 pages of that stuff. Nooooo, that wasn't good enough. Apparently, everyone else is incompetent! First she told me that my kids might get bored because we would be there for an hour and a half filling out paperwork! What?! Then I had to politely ask if I could change the channel on the tv in the waiting room because they were watching soaps and there was a whole lot of half-naked cuddling and kissing going on if you know what I mean and I don't watch that filth much less let my kids see it! So her rude answer was, "I have to shut it off when I come out there to talk to you anyway" and I said, "GREAT! Go ahead and shut it off!" Then she also had the nerve to reprimand me about my weight gain when we finally did start the consultation! I should've asked her if she looked in the mirror lately! She says, "The doctor will tell you only to gain 25 lbs. no matter what." Well, let the doc tell me and I will tell him that I don't feel 140 lbs is an outrageous amount of weight for a 7 month pregnant 29 year old. She also said that I have to RETAKE an hour long glucose test for gestational diabetes because she felt my last Dr. had me take it too soon; a week and a half too soon. Oh sure, insurance companies really like to have subscribers take the tests twice. I don't like her! I want Laser-Face back. And we were only there for 30 min. not an hour and a half. Hopefully, the doctor is better because my best friend recommended him. We'll see, our next appointment is next Thursday, I'll let you know how it goes...

Now, now, Joanie. You must remember how bad it was with Laser-Face. You really didn't like her! Sorry about the bad experiences. Hopefully the next one will be a charm!

She sounds like a real gem. She needs relax and remeber to take care of her pregnant women a little better. I hope next week goes better.

P.S. I would be very happy to be sitting at 140, and I'm not prego.
