Bloody GP - oversensitive & hormonal rant

[philbee]

Went in second day running to try to get a physio referral for my foot. This time the GP agreed to do it, but only after asking if I'd had strong anti-inflammatories. No, because I'm pg. 'That's a nuisance.' he said. Actually, after a year of trying, various tests and a miscarriage before that it doesn't seem like a nuisance to me, more like a bloody miracle. I said sthn to that effect, got the referral, went out and cried for about 20 mins. So fed up of having to tell people. Blugh.

im sure it was just an off the cuff remark that meant nothing - dont let it get to you.
blow your nose and enjoy your pg!

I know. He's a good doctor. Just feel so vulnerable whenever I have to tell anyone. It's a week now to my first scan, so am feeling pretty emotional anyway, plus had dreams I was miscarrying last night. It's a perfect storm of emotional pressure!

Oh you poor thing. It is perfectly normal to feel emotional and weepy when you are pregnant. I'm sure half the people on here have cried at far less.

Good luck for your scan.

Oh dear, I feel for you but I'm sure he didn't mean it that way at all! Hormones and natural worry will be affecting your responses, as you've noted - but congratulations on your pg and I hope it all goes well for you this time. :)

Sometimes GP's don't seem to think, but then again, they're human too! My DM's GP said something to her along the lines of 'well, you're 86 now, so it's all downhill!' She was pretty upset too, although far too stiff upper lip to let him know - and he's a friend!!

Hope the scan goes well.
