Yeah, I do have a list, but I do need more clarification. I was very happy early in the pregnancy with how they treated me, but now it seems like questioning does not get the response I want. Maybe part of the problem is that they rotate you through doctors and everyone seems to have a different level of concern about these issues. I had rib pain, and one doctor said it was just a muscle and not to worry and the next sent me for a gallbladder scan, put me on two prescriptions, and sent me to a specialist. I once went and told the desk as well as the nurse I had had an ultrasound the last week so I was sure I wasn't supposed to have one again. They were all just like, no, you are. Then the ultrasound tech was like, what, last week? when I said we'd gotten a better view of her face the last week. Then when I finally saw the doctor and said I didn't know if I should have had one, she was like, it was fine... When the nurse called and said they were diagnosing me with g.d., I said that I already had a pretty specific diet due to morning sickness and non-pregnancy gastro issues and wanted to talk to the doctor about the diagnosis, and she said, no, just talk to the dietitian, who will work with your "lifestyle" (which was irritating, since it's not like I choose to be allergic to fat or sick every day). Then when I did talk to my doctor, she said I did not have to meet with the dietitian because my blood sugar numbers were fine. When I try to get more specific about reasons for things, they're just like, we just want the best outcomes for your baby. I don't think they usually take the time to look at all the data, and although I'm used to that in some situations, it is not so satisfying in this case.
