So I must share... I'm so excited!! I am now 19 weeks preggo with #2 and 26 years old (just for some background). So when I went to my 1st appointment at 8 weeks I had the worst experience EVER. I was being seen by a student doc (teaching clinic). She asked if I had any health problems and what meds I was currently taking. I told her about my fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Mind you I was on day 4 of a migraine and hadn't taken anything because I was waiting to see her. She tried to find the heartbeat and in the process saw my tattoo on the inside of my hip (pentagram~I'm wiccan.) Things took an immediate turn for the worst. She told me that she wasn't going to give me a prescription for pain. She acted like I was going to take them 24/7, which I obviously was not considering I was only asking for 3 days worth not anymore than that for a month. She said that whenever I get one to go to the ER. I advised her of the way people with chronic migraines get treated if they don't have anything at home (basically like a drug seeker). She said AND I QUOTE "if you aren't willing to deal with your pain you should terminate this pregnancy". I left crying and ended up in the ER that night. Obviously at this point I was terrified to go to another doc. I felt like the worst person in the world. I couldn't get excited about the baby. I was totally indifferent to the whole thing.
Finally after 2 months I found a midwife. She is awesome! She actually listens to my concerns. What a concept She didn't rush me out or make me feel like crap. She gave me multiple options for pain management without judgement. She made me excited to have my baby. She didn't judge my tattoo on the inside of my hip. I must say... midwives are so much better! At least mine is
Sorry, I had to share. Has anyone else dealt with a horrific doc?
Thanks for reading

What a b-tch! I am so sorry you had to experience that. Fortunately I have never had that experience. When I learned that I was pregnant with my first child a friend referred me to her doctor and he was wonderful! I've would never consider another dr. So glad you found someone you are comfortable with and who treats you well. Best wishes!

Wow, she's going to be a horrible doctor. You should definitely call the clinic and complain, no one should be treated like that. I'm so sorry. But congrats on finding a good doctor!!

@txmoorekat and @magcaw thanks for listening (well reading). I think I am going to call the clinic and tell them what happened. I already called my insurance and told them to refuse the doc portion of the bill. They bill docs seperately for some reason. I told them what happened and they didn't pay it. I can't wait for them to ask me for her money...lol

I had some sort of experience like this when I found out I was preggo with my first child......I had to have emergency surgery on my ovaries because I had a cyst rupture....it had been 3 years of me trying to get preggo because I had been told I would never be able to have children due to other simular surgeries....I cried out to the doctor as they took me back....please don't hurt my baby.......he looked at me and said its not a baby yet......I had just found out that night I was preggo and after that long and having been told I would never have kids he had the nerve to tell me it wasn't a baby yet......that baby is now 10 years old.....and I have an almost 9 year old now gonna have a 3rd after all these years......:)
