I have my first doctor's appointment scheduled on november 12th @ 10.30 am. I just called the health department to ask them why the heck it would last 4 hours. The lady said I'll start with seeing a woman named Maria Roman, who will do the paperwork for us to apply for MEDICAID, that would last one hour. Then she'd take us to someone else to apply for WIC and all that, and then I'd have a complete physical. I asked what would be done during that and she told me "well the usual things you get when you are pregnant and have a physical", I asked if we'd get an ultrasound, and she said "oh I can tell you that right now, you won't. It's your first appointment, we don't do them at the first appointment, plus you're coming on a Friday and we only do ultrasounds on a wednesday". So yeah, I'll be poked and probed and all that good stuff, but I won't get what would have been a great reward and comfort for me, we don't get to see our baby, we don't get to know if it's a girl or boy, and I doubt we will get to even hear the heartbeat. How bollocks is that ?! I don't want to go to that stupid appointment anymore ! It means we'll have to wait more to get an ultrasound ! I will be 19 weeks when we go to that stupid appointment, how much longer are they going to make us wait ? Are they THAT cheap that they won't give you an ultrasound at 19 weeks ? Damn ! I am really upset and crying right now. So I still wonder what will take so long ! If the medicaid crap (which we know I won't get anyway) is going to last 1 hour, what will the 3 hours left be spent doing ? Don't tell me a physical takes 3 hours ! I bet ya that's all gonna be waiting for blood work results. I don't want them to f*cking poke me with a needle ! I think Brian's going to have to put a lot of work into forcing me to go, because I honestly don't want to go anymore at all.
So yeah it might sound stupid, but I am really upset about that and am actually crying.
I'm gonna go now... bye !
