Part Two of Pregnancy---It's a bumpy road!

So here is part two of Pregnancy---It's a bumpy road! My doctor and her nurse have really offended me. When I first started losing weight they really didn't say anything. Well, when I started dropping weight like a fat kid eating cake, they started making me feel like I wasn't eating enough or even forcing myself to throw up. Then, this is the straw that broke the camels back, At my appt. On March 22, the nurse asked if I have ever had a eating disorder or ever made myself throw up. I was pissed to say the least. They are accusing me of not caring for my baby and worrying about if I am getting fat! It is absurd! So when I was in the hospital and didn't throw up, the doctor said that it must be a miracle...grrr! I do believe in miracles, but do you think it is a miracle when I had medicine pumped into my veins when sitting all day. I don't think so! When I was on Zofran, the pill, I was doing good... Not perfect because remember how I said that the insurance would only pay for 12. I was only taking 1 a day to save them instead of the every 8 hour rule. So, although I have already paid her for all my appts. And the delivery of our baby, I think I need a new doctor. I hate that! Why do they think that I am crazy! I would do anything to gain weight right now. Grr.. I am getting angry, I don't want to disturb the baby so I am going to go! Love ya, BYE!

hey tegan, you may hae to see a new doctor. also, maybe you could consult a neurologists and they can help you with the nausea and vomiting? i don't know, we're in neuroanatomy right now and nausea and vomiting all the time is a symptom of something wrong with your vesitbulocochlear system, but that's probably not it all. i don't know anything at all yet.
i'm sorry you're feeling so bad. i think you should get a second opinion from another doctor. I know you and i know you would never intentionally make yourself sick, at the expense of your child.

Thank you! I went to the doctor Yestarday and I gained 1 pound! Finally. Today I am getting a Zofran Pump put into my leg so that I don't throw up anymore! I can't wait. I do want to get a second opinion, but honestly... I don't think that I could afford it! The pump is so expensive and we are building our house. We'll see!
