When I am paying my good money for a service, I want to know why I am getting a lab test, why I have to have it done, what it is for. I deserve to know and I also have the right to refuse it if I think I don't need it. good for you! <abbr><em>Karens last blog post..<a href="http://fabgrandma.blogspot.com/2009/04/cactus-ranch-trailer-court.html" rel="nofollow">Cactus Ranch Trailer Court</a></abbr></em> I just hate when doctors don’t answer your questions.

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:33:05 +0000 http://www.harvestofdailylife.com/?p=2876#comment-20627 I have had two gyno exams that hurt, but at least I wasn't pregnant during either of them! (I'll spare y'all the details :) The doctor that did the first told me it was going to hurt, that he was going to be as gentle as he possibly could, and explained in detail why he thought the exam was necessary. The second (years later) was a female. We got through the necessary conversation just fine, but she made no mention that it was going to hurt so bad, I'd end up in tears. Her saying that it wasn't possible it could have hurt that bad and I that I was just being a wimp made me furious. Which made me cry harder. I hate it, but I always cry when I get really, really angry. I'd have been in tears of anger if any doc had ever done what you describe. Pain is NOT normal during a routine external exam. I'm glad it didn't last long. Don't you just hate the cheesy pamphlets written at a 6th grade reading level? <abbr><em>Donna B.s last blog post..<a href="http://opiningonline.com/2009/03/29/sunday-cruising/" rel="nofollow">Sunday Cruising</a></abbr></em> I have had two gyno exams that hurt, but at least I wasn’t pregnant during either of them!

I've had 2 kids, was treated by a midwife for both (only saw an OB while the kids were being delivered because I ended up having to have a c-section), and I've never HEARD of a painful exam to check baby position. I'm so glad you aren't going back. I hate bullies. HATE THEM. And ones that you have done your homework and they try to make you feel stupid because you know more than they do. That's a lot of anxiety you don't need. Just make sure to keep close contact with Pamela! I hope you're riding out the storm okay! And by the way...regarding N having to move all your stuff by himself... maybe when you get to the new house, the only things that need to be moved upstairs are the lighter things. Who cares if the heavy dressers, etc are downstairs for a while until both of you are well enough to move it up? Could be months. Really though, hurting your backs could cause years of pain that isn't worth it. If you have friends that come over to see your house, and you're afraid they'll comment on the dresser being in the livingroom, hand them a pair of gloves and ask them to give a hand in moving it upstairs. Or they can keep their trap shut. And make sure to use a 2 wheel dolly (hand cart), even if you have to go buy one. You both are going to need strong backs for playing with Tater for the next 18 years!! <abbr><em>Hyphen Mamas last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MommyNeeds5Minutes/~3/GBPSip2q1Z0/lemonslemonadehopeful-yet-pessimistic.html" rel="nofollow">Lemons.....Lemonade....Hopeful Yet Pessimistic</a></abbr></em> I have no idea what kind of exam would cause so much pain!

There is no reason for her to act like that she is supposed to be there for you, when I was pregnant I started out seeing a midwife but I soon became a high risk pregnancy and had to see a OB and HE was great! You just really have to put a lot of trust in this person and she obviously doesn't give an F, sorry for the language but I mean come on thats crazy! Do you plan on seeing another OBGYN or just handle everything at the Farm from now on? Good luck with the storm stay safe! I cannot believe your OBGYN what a B****!
