I went to the Doctor's today, and she gave me this:
It's my Glucose Drink for my Glucose Screening. So, I don't know if it's just my doctor, or my last doctor, but this doctor does things a lot differently than my last. Since we switched insurances from my last pregnancy to this one, I had to find a new doctor. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this doctor. She is amazing, and I'm realizing that my last doctor wasn't that great compared to this one. This doctor, Dr. Nippert, is so personable and nice! This visit today was almost an hour late, and when she walked in she was so apologetic, etc. My last doctor, when she was late, wouldn't even apologize. I just really like Dr. Nippert a lot.
Anyways, so she gave me this drink for my next visit. I have to drink it a 1/2 hour before I show up for my next appointment. Is that weird? With my last doctor, I just drank the drink at the doctor's office, and sat around for an hour before they drew my blood. I guess this means I don't have to sit around at the doctor's office if I start it at home. I don't mind the differences though, because this doctor is awesome and so nice! And she calls me by my name every single time she talks to me. I don't even know if my last doctor knew my name.
Another plus, I am starting to see the doctor ever two weeks now instead of every four weeks. That means I'm getting closer to being done - yay! I can't wait to get my body, patience and control back. Does anyone else feel like they lose those things when they're pregnant? I just want to be me again. This pregnancy is so much harder than Jonas's. I can't wait to be done. 2 1/2 more months - I can do that. I tell myself that every day.
I have no patience, am exhausted, and want to feel like me again!! This pregnancy has been harder for me to- I think it is because we have toddlers that we have to take care of all day. That's nuts your dr made you sit there for an hour. Mine just says drink it and show up 10 min before the hour is up. Also, that is crazy you go every 2 weeks... I like that though!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have an amazing doctor! I had the same doctor for all five of you kids...he wasn't very personable but he was very good. Perhaps I should have shopped around... I might have found another one I liked better! I just hated the thoughts of going to a new doctor! I hate going to the doctor as it is!
