Thanks a lot you two! (And Michele - but this will be a repeat for you since I just talked to you  ) I have much more support online than with my OB! I am very tempted to change docs....but that's scary at the same time. There are 4 doctors in the practice I'm going to right now, so I can request to not see him again...but there's a chance he'll be the one on-call when I deliver.
He was absolutely rude and critical of me. I asked about some anxiety I still have sleeping, and he basically called me a control freak that is way too nervous about everything and needs to see a psychologist to deal with it. ALL I said was, 'Is it ok to take Ambien to sleep?' He had known me for 5 MINUTES, and was just awful about it.
He goes, 'Anxiety means something bad happened to you in your past - were you raped or something?'
I about smacked him at that point - what if I had been raped??? Is that any way to ask someone? And what right does he have to ask that anyways?!?! I told him no, and that my anxiety didn't start until last year when I started having so many stomach problems. Then he goes, 'Oh that's not true, anxiety doesn't just START a year ago, you must have problems with your parents or siblings or something from a long time ago'.
Then I asked if there was anything I could do to control my pancreas so that I won't get full blown pancreatitis...he said no, that it was just my body....so I said, 'that sucks'...and he goes, 'well to a control freak that sucks...most people would say that if they can't control it, oh well! But not you.' The whole time he's saying these things he has this grin on his face, like it's all funny to make fun of me.
Anyways - he said a bunch more, but it took all I had to keep from crying in there.
The Zofran is supposed to work right away...I'm going to try taking it earlier like Michele suggested...we'll see.
Sorry this is so long! I'm not good at writing letters and I just kind of want to forget about it....but at the same time I think the other doctors should know what a jerk he is.
Thanks for your support you girls! XXX <<BIG HUGS>>
Oh and Dalia - I have tried eating light, ginger, etc...it's almost like my body doesn't want anythign in my stomach after about 6:00 at night...I feel much better after I throw everything up at night.
